Summary:
Depending on the client and the problem, the safety expert plays different roles, such as: advisor, expert, trainer or coach. Those who are able to play different roles and switch between them master the art of situational consulting.
In solving a safety problem and managing risks, the role of the consultant is just as important as the content of the advice. Often the advisory role comes about through negotiation. The more active the safety expert is in this, the more is possible.
