When Tom Cruise came out with no pants, sliding around the floor in his socks, were you calculating the likelihood of him suffering a slip and fall while assessing the possible damage to both his body and the personal effects in the house? I doubt it. But, imagine someone asked you to do just that … would you feel qualified?
I ask because, years ago, I found myself in a somewhat similar position — now, I wasn’t running around in a men’s button-up shirt and whitey tighties lip-syncing to Bob Seger, but I was asked to fill out a risk matrix.
