3. Scenarios

This section considers several different scenarios submitted to the OHS WWW site. They can be found in the scenarios section of that site. Firstly, a brief synopsis of the aspects of each scenario that are relevant to the points made in this paper is provided. (Links to the full scenarios are provided as well.) Of course, these synopses do not capture all of the intricacies of the full scenarios, but the extra complications can be ignored for the implications drawn here. Secondly, four ramifications of the scenarios for the OHSWG work are discussed. Three of these directly impact our reference architecture proposal, while two concern our protocol proposal.
