Balancing safety and client needs in electrical installations. How can you ensure both are met effectively?

In the world of electrical installations, prioritizing safety while meeting client expectations is key. Here's how to strike that balance:

- Adhere strictly to safety codes and regulations to protect everyone involved.

- Communicate transparently with clients about safety requirements and how they impact project timelines or costs.

- Offer alternative solutions when safety constraints limit initial client requests, ensuring their needs are still met creatively.

How do you maintain this balance in your work? Feel free to share your approaches.
