[mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2012 01:14 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Stage/platform -- consensus methods As good judgment is the more valuable (and arguably more difficult) service provided by the professional relative to their enforcement of statutory prescriptions, it can be argued that the life safety professional should render their good judgment. Fire protection and construction almost always operates in an open system, it is logically impossible to capture all the boundary conditions, much less attempt to categorize them in words and prescriptions (arm waving included). Prescriptive (i.e. deemed-to-satisfy) solutions invaluably satisfy 90+ % of fire design conditions, so good judgment on the tough decisions is not required on a regular basis, but good judgment is needed often enough that is should be a serious condition for consideration when hiring a professional. Oft heard quote from U.S. Court of Appeals, "I know what's legal, not what's right. And I'll stick to what's legal." This forum is a good place at determining what is legal. This forum is not the best place at determining what is right, in part because people are afraid to exercise public judgment and risk impugning their reputation and/or financial situation. Now the question as to 'what is good judgment?' is another discussion. There are documented methods proven effective at getting from "what is legal" to what is right using forum's opinions such as this one. scot deal excelsior fire gsm 61 4 35 292 599 > Isn't Working with the Codes Fun. > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
