Minimizing Risks and Making Choices with David Cain

 

Let’s talk safety.

Or, rather, let’s talk risk, because we know firefighting isn’t safe.

Risks are all about choices. The objective is to make choices that minimize risk.

There are ways to do this, and my guest today says we need to do them.

David Cain retired as a deputy chief at the Boulder Colorado Fire Department, where he served for 34 years.

He’s a consultant for PSTrax.com, a technology service that helps fire departments automate their apparatus, equipment, and inventory.
