I think, as in many cases, it depends on what the record is and what 
industry you are in.  I don't believe you would want to destroy records 
early that for instance relate to safety training taken by an employee 
and/or an employee medical record.  Sure enough, you destroy them 
according to the recently decreased retention requirement and the next 
thing you know an exposure suit is filed in which those very training and 
medical records offer positive support of your company in this claim.

I can think of environmental records which might also apply to this 
scenario.

Thanks
