Quotes:

“We don’t always have opportunities in safety science to get some objective artifacts…”

“I’ve never heard of a designer saying they’ve got plenty of time and a ton of budget, so let’s, you know, get down and optimize for safety.”

“And if we start by listing the operations before we list the hazards or risks, then we’re going to be in a much better place.”
