>While I don't have numbers ready to cite, the steel industry is a superb analogue. It, too, is a hazardous production environment. It, too, has production rate as an OKR. I believe deaths in that industry used to measure in the thousands [1]. I recently read RAILWAY ADVENTURES AND ANECDOTES (1885) <https://www.gutenberg.org/files/31395/31395-h/31395-h.htm https://www.gutenberg.org/files/31395/31395-h/31395-h.htm>, a collection of interesting moments from the first 50 years of railroads. Almost every page there is a mention of some fatal accident for passengers and crews (usually a boiler explosion, and/or a derailment), yet everyone seems very matter-of-fact about such things despite (or, rather, because of) their frequency.
