What should be greater to justify physical intervention?

To justify physical intervention in a safety care context, the risk of not intervening needs to be greater than other considerations. This principle is grounded in the understanding that failing to intervene in a potentially harmful situation can lead to greater physical or psychological harm to individuals involved. If the risk of harm that could occur without intervention is significant, it creates a strong justification for the use of physical intervention as a means to protect the safety and well-being of everyone in the environment.

When the risks of not taking action—such as potential injury to the individual exhibiting dangerous behavior or harm to others nearby—outweigh the risks associated with intervening, intervention becomes necessary. This highlights the importance of assessing the situation thoroughly to ensure that the decision to intervene is made in the interest of safety while considering the potential consequences of both action and inaction.
