Seems like this sort of anti-safety corporate culture is behind the majority of industrial accidents.

It sure seems like it might be a contributing factor. Who knew that threatening whistleblowers would eventually wind up with people duct taping over known issues rather than actually trying to get them fixed?

Now we've got this, the whole Boeing thing, East Palestine...

I had to do a write-up on the Deepwater Horizon disaster for my organizational leadership class a couple weeks ago. Same thing, a corporate culture that downplayed safety and emphasized profit led to poor maintenance, woefully inadequate equipment inspections, and choosing the worst options because they were cheaper.

It's past time for these corps to learn.
