Besides the obvious reductio ab absurdum seems quite uninformed.
While things need to be done safety is considered the highest priority because of an obvious reason: money. A single accident is often much more costly then all safety measures put in place.

That's exactly what he was trying to be.
- anthony_d 6y agoHe specifically mentions your point in what I thought was a clever way in the video: If someone claims your safety is their top priority, it's not you they're looking out for, it's themselves. "Safety first" is a legal mechanism for reducing liability. Sometimes procedures improve safety and sometimes they harm safety, but their mere existence combined with a culture of prioritizing safety is sufficient to avoid legal liability when accidents happen.
