Safety and compliance comes from values, fundamentals, experience, actions, relentless thought and process to enforce compliance. Do that and public safety and infrastructure stands a chance. It’s not achieved by hopes and dreams…

Blaming anyone other than the people at the top is pointless. It’s our responsibility to know the risks and if you don’t know it you don’t proceed.
