Lightning safety means avoiding high risk situations.
In this sense, LWSs are a time management tool intended to provide information for suspension and resumption of activities. In many situations Safety and Productivity can be conflicting or opposing priorities. When operations are stopped due to false indications of lightning by the LWS, the system looses credibility and usefulness. Therefore, accuracy of information is essential, as is the LWS affordability relative to the consequences. Lightning information via subscription services also is available.
