My way of addressing your question, 'How else have other people managed to providing new equipment to an individual and not then get further requested from others?' is to explain to people at all levels the differences between these three classes of risks and offer coaching to address the issues arising. 1. 'Pure' risks are those concerned with avoiding costs of losses, damage, injiury, illness and death; this is commonly what safety and health (and Facilities) practitionres are most concened about and specifically concerns the direct costs associated with PPE, safe furniture, handtools and equipment 2. 'Speculative' risks are those involved in any business: they conceren the net gains afer paying the costs. They are commonly thought of as 'reducing the bottom line' although successful leaders are even more concerned about 'increasing the top line', i.e. boosting levels of revenue through innovatio and customer service. 3. 'Behavioural risks' are those that arise every day from what people at all levels do or avoid. The scope includes reducing errors, near-misses, accidents and so on, on the one hand, and increasing the quality of concentration, co-operatiion, helpfulness, product adaptation and service improvement. This is the class of risks that is most commonly neglected and most waste occurs while people talk about the other classes of risk. So, this is the area of opportunity for most safety and health practtiioners to contribute to improving the top line of their organsiation, especially through coaching about improved human relationships at all levels
