Please discuss the significance of the anticipation and recognition phases using an example from your workplace or some type of business you are familiar with (this can be applied to any type of work environment, from an office to a jet fighter). How would you suggest another person find what they need to know in order to understand the hazards common to that type of work? Give specific sources as examples.
