Q

safety and risk management:

A

we will risk our lives a lot in a calculated manner to save savable lives.
we will risk our lives a little in a calculated manner to save savable property.
we will not risk our lives at all for lives or property that are already lost.

victims buried by trench collapse or under water for 10 min or more would be very unlikely to survive. recovery operation is required.

rescuers should consider notification time, dispatch time, response time and time on scene as part of the calculation.
