  2. Management Pressure / System – time constraints, hurry, priority, poor job coordination.
  3. Apathy, Insignificant – don’t care, unimportant.
  4. Facility and Equipment Condition – design, modification or deterioration contributing to at-risk condition or behavior.
  5. Disagreement on At-Risk Practices – cannot agree that an at-risk condition or behavior exists.
  6. Personal Factors or Distractions – not thinking, mind not on the task at hand, preoccupied, self imposed pressure.
  7. Accepted Culture or Peer Pressure – doing the wrong thing because our peers do, going along with the crowd, rather not “rock the boat”.
