There are four basic categories of tools, as shown in Table 4.1. Each can be applied independently or in concert with one or more of the other categories to achieve a particular goal. The Remedial Measures Model is designed to help you choose not only the most appropriate category but the particular tool(s) for reaching a remediation goal(s).
Table 4.1 Tool categories reflect the nature of the tool and the roles it may play.
