Treeve, I like you and what you do for us ICV guys, but I got to hold you to account here and challenge the conclusion you've drawn with the above statement.
In your line of work, YOU should know that compliance, in many instances has NOTHING to do with actual safety, and a lot to do with simply meeting bureaucracy driven outcomes instigated by insurance companies and governments, written into law to increase their bottom lines.
As a premise I agree. Don't short cut safety. But full compliance doesn't make you safer.
Eg. I ride bicycles. Wearing a helmet is mandatory and legislated, but I'm certainly no safer wearing one. NO MATTER WHAT anyone else thinks or tells me.
Just saying...
Best wishes and apologies for being contrarian.
