It was the motto in every (above-ground) workplace I've worked at, some of which were genuinely dangerous.

But in factories and construction sites and kitchens, yes, it's a sensible rule. Always be aware of your surroundings, and be up on your safety protocols. Though people wear more equipment than they did 30 or 40 years ago, most of it makes a damn bunch of basic sense. The province I'm in is based on dangerous jobs for the most part ... Fort MacMurray is where young Newfies go to die.

BUT, it has leaked out into the general use area somewhat too much. Look at the assholes wanting to genocide entire species for to "stay safe", when the solution is "stay the fuck out of their habitats and in your own, dumb human snotlickers."
