A6.2.4. Reward correct behavior and correct inadequate behavior. The emphasis should clearly be on<br />

reinforcing correct behavior. Reinforcement means any action that increase the likelihood that the person<br />

will display the desired behavior again. It can be as informal as a pat on the back or as formal as a major<br />

desired behavior have failed<br />

result will be consistent success in controlling risk. Note that the extent of the rewards and corrective<br />

actions required will be dictated in part by the degree of difficulty and unpleasantness of the task. The<br />
