Safety is planned into the job as an integral part of the operation rather than something that is used only when it is necessary. This reduces the "shoot-from-the-hip" decision-making process and replaces it through the implementation of planning. For example, if a public risk is identified, a plan is developed for the protection of the people using the facility. The plan would include tools, materials, and labor costs, as well as the design, engineering, and scope required to install the proper protection. Getting on-time deliveries of the materials, tools, and other equipment needed to build the protection is also improved because of effective planning.
