Safety is a HUGE problem in all industrial workplaces. Employers always have "extensive protocols" in place, but managers and workers are often pressured to work in unsafe conditions in order to meet their performance goals. For example, it's very common for workers to avoid donning PPE or properly setting up safety equipment for "simple" yet risky tasks such as routine cleaning of powerful equipment. It's one of the "would you jump off a bridge just because everyone else did it?" type things, but complacency and peer pressure are real things. There is always a battle between productivity and safety.
