The Danger Condition for the person assigning the condition has been long knownand published.

However, out of all the original formulas conditions published, DANGER is theonly condition which has not had a formula for the person or activity to which it wasassigned. There are therefore TWO DANGER FORMULAS.

One is for the person who assigns the condition. This is (as originally released)

1.Bypass (ignore the junior normally in charge of the area, handle itpersonally).

2.Handle the situation and any danger in it.

3.Assign the area where it had to be handled a Danger Condition.

4.Handle the personnel by Ethics Investigation and Comm Ev.

5.Reorganize the activity so that the situation does not repeat.

6.Recommend any firm policy that will hereafter detect and/or prevent thesituation from recurring.

That formula, fully valid, is for a senior. If he doesn't follow it, he will always bein trouble.

BUT HOW ABOUT THE PERSON, UNIT, ORG OR ACTIVITY TO WHICH THEDANGER CONDITION WAS ASSIGNED?

The one on the receiving end has not had a formula to follow.

I have worked out the SECOND DANGER FORMULA, meaning the formulaapplied by the person, unit, org or activity which has been assigned a DANGERCONDITION.

A.List the consequences if the situation had remained unhandled.

B.Work out any conflicts of orders which prevent compliance and productionand get them adjusted.

C.Work out any misunderstoods and get them clarified.

D.Survey and improve comm outflow and inflow.

E.Reorganize Mest (Matter Energy Space and Time) more efficiently.

F.Work out means of becoming more secure.

G.Present the completed formula in writing as above to the one who assignedthe condition for permission to upgrade.

All these actions A to G apply to the subject and area of the person, unit, org oractivity, whichever has been assigned the DANGER CONDITION.

Above all, be sincere, courteous and honest in applying the formula.
