English: The ARECC framework and process to Anticipate and Recognize Hazards, Evaluate Exposures, and Control and Confirm Protection from Risks recognizes the essential contributions of leaders, cultures, and systems to achieving success. When failures to protect people and the environment from risks have occurred, root causes of those failures can be traced to shortcomings or breakdowns in one or more aspects of the prevailing leaders, cultures, and systems. Aspects of the decision-making framework and process related to building and sustaining relevant and reliable leaders, cultures, and systems can be particularly important when disparate technologies or activities are converging. Figure 3 illustrates the components of leaders, cultures, and systems that enable ARECC in any setting to:

make it easier for everyone to get the right things done right for protection by helping to build and sustain connected, protected, and respected communities with leaders, cultures, and systems that have all the tools, training, and experience needed to anticipate and recognize hazards, evaluate exposures, and control and confirm protection from risks to safety, health, well-being, and productivity in all the places we live, learn, work, and play.

This figure provides essential components for assessing, building, and sustaining connected, protected, respected communities of leaders, cultures, and systems with all the tools, training, and experience needed to control and confirm protection from risks in any setting
