7.3.1-3 Coordination of Destructive and Safety-Significant Commands Across Modes

A command that produces a benign action in one mode should not cause a different action with serious negative consequences in another mode.

Additional Information:
A command is an instruction provided by a user requesting a computer system to perform a particular action. Actions that are destructive (e.g., delete file) or have serious safety consequences should have unique commands. For example, the function key 'F2' should not have a benign action, such as listing a directory, in one mode but a destructive action, such as deleting a file or operating important plant equipment, in another mode.
