An area of concern in safety is mixed agendas. A mixed agenda is when participants in an environment have differing goals or agendas.
In Wyoming we see it in Yellowstone Park. Some drivers are on a two week vacation who did not realize how long it would take to get to Yellowstone nor how long it would take to see it. Other drivers, retirees for example, are in no rush and can spend the whole summer there if they like. Because of mixed agendas it is difficult to control traffic.
The latest example of mixed agendas is in New York City. We all know of the plane that went down in the Hudson River because of a bird strike. Under a proposal from the Department of Agriculture, staffers would be authorized to kill a half dozen species of birds within a five mile radius of the airport. The intent of course is to reduce the number of bird strikes on airplane. Sound good? Not so fast.
There is a multi-million dollar Federal project underway near the airport to restore wetland habitats for migratory birds that includes Canadian Geese. Canadian Geese brought down the flight into the river.
Often safety relates to what the ruling government agency defines as a hazard or a safety priority.
