Profit maximisation is not the only factor of running a business, even a public company. But even given that, what are the PR and legal costs of this predictable [1] accident being made worse by a poor safety system? Plus the downtime on doing training/testing? And the probably harsher requirements that might now be enforced? Maximizing profits doesn't mean doing everything on the cheap. [1] in the sense there was likely to be an accident at some point.
