I used to work for Alcoa, a very large aluminum manufacturer. Their policies were right in line with everything you described, and it was a really good working environment. Every single first aid event was investigated so we could figure out how to do better in the future. The Swiss Cheese model was used to explain why "I've done it 1,000 times this way and never had an issue" isn't acceptable, and you must work according to the prescribed method.
It all started with their new CEO in the 80's who didn't want to talk about profits at Investor Day, and instead circled back to safety and the employees who weren't able to go home the same way they went to work.

Even now safety gets mentioned in their earnings calls. https://investors.alcoa.com/financials/quarterly-earnings/default.aspx https://investors.alcoa.com/financials/quarterly-earnings/de...
