Cutting corners. In so many businesses the corners cut lead to rampant abuses.

It starts with a slight slip of the protocol. Like that first thread on a beautiful sweater. You pull and it starts to unravel. Over on the shoulder there is another thread, you cut the corner, you pull that thread. These opportunities to do things the wrong but often cheaper or easier way appear all over the place. And do not forget you are not just one person in this situation. You are part of a vast system built to get one thing done. As you and your cohorts succumb to the desire to do it faster and cheaper others are doing it in some other area. Before you know it the sweater is unraveling and it is getting quite cold in here.

Doing things right is especially important when it comes to public safety. Medical waste disposal is easy to cut corners on once or twice, each time causing a little more damage to the environment, to the people in your area, but more so to the structure that keeps your facility functioning.

If you cut corners on medical waste management it will become a rampant problem. It will unravel you will be caught but not before endangering a large amount of people.
