"La seguridad del personal no es un lujo ni una opción. Es una necesidad y forma parte esencial del costo de hacer nuestro trabajo. El construir una cultura de prevención no es fácil. Si bien los costos de la prevención deben pagarse en el presente, sus beneficios se hallan en el futuro distante. Además los beneficios no son tangibles; son los desastres que no ocurrieron". K.A.
