Policy: The factory' s safety inspector should not approve a new manufacturing process unless it has been used safely for more than a year at another factory or it will demonstrably increase safety at the factory. Application: The safety inspector should not approve the proposed new welding process, for it cannot be shown to increase safety at the factory.
The statement 'The factory at which the new welding process was first introduced has had several problems associated with the process' justifies the above application of the policy.
