It is 0100 on saturday. earlier you and your buddy drove to a local club to have a few drinks, and now neither of you is in any condition to drive. as the lights come on, both of you discuss your options on how to get back to the barracks without getting arrested or worse causing an accident. you suggest a taxi, asking a designated driver at the club to take you back, or walking. this discussion is an example of which step of the abcd model?

This discussion is an example of the second step of the ABCD model which is the "BALANCE RESOURCES" step.

Explanation:

The ABCD model of risk management consists of the following four steps to reducing risk;

a) Assess the situation

b) Balance Resources

c) Communicate

d) Do and Debrief

In this case, there is an ongoing discussion on how to get back to the barracks as safely as possible.

Options are suggested which include taking a taxi, walking or getting a designated driver from the club. This is the second step of the model where resources are balanced and possible options are suggested and weighed to prevent and expose errors.
