The Executive Summary and Problem Statement are key pieces of business cases as they provide an overview of the current state of business and the problem that needs to be solved. Business cases are used on a regular basis to provide a documented justification on the need to implement a new change or make changes to an existing construction safety program. They are usually drafted by the construction safety professional and front-level or mid-level managers and presented to decision-makers.
