Accidents happen. In fact, accidents in regards to vehicles as well as in the workplace, can be rather common occurrences and some of these accidents can also be rather catastrophic; to wit, around 40,000 people die from car crashes, yearly. So too, certain industries, are known to be dangerous enough, that serious injuries or even death can await those that work at those facilities, in which, despite protective gear and sensible protocol, the inherent danger of that workplace, still produces tragic incidents.
While there has been notable improvements made in workplace safety as well as in automobile safety and crash protection, the bottom line is that there are still an uncomfortable amount of accidents, that have serious consequences associated with them that still occur. This thus raises the question, as to whether the design of automobiles, the roadways so utilized, and the operators of those vehicles, are conducted in a way and manner, in which, the safety of the person and their occupants is the preeminent concern. The same basic question can be asked about the workplace, especially for certain jobs that have dangerous elements to them, as to whether or not, the safety of those so working is of preeminent concern.
The reason why the question has to be asked, is that we live within a capitalistic society, so it certainly is fair to surmise, that the lust for profit, as well as the fact that companies have to compete, often seems to necessitate that some sacrifices or compromises in regards to overall safety, and therefore the frequency of accidents and the intensity of such, will have to be made, in order to maintain good profitability and a strong competitive presence. This signifies that for a certainty, that while there will always be some accidents that will happen, that probably more could be done by manufacturers, designers, and this government to reduce such even more, if this was actually prioritized higher.
The above signifies that there are indeed some accidents that are waiting to happen, because the conditions, so of, are structured in a way and manner, in which it is inevitable that an accident will occur. So then, within the equation of life, a reasonable person, should have the right to know, as to how that formula is being designed, monitored, and regulated; because it would seem that in all probability we could reduce accidents further, if that was indeed the overarching desire of this government, businesses, and the people, so of.
There are plenty of ways to attack a given problem, of which, one of those ways has to be, to bypass those avenues that offer only a temporary fix or respite, and to resolve instead to go after those solutions, that are more robust, innovative, and revolutionary, instead. How valuable a human life should be, or the value of the continual health and safety of that person, needs to be answered, forthrightly. After all, a human life is vulnerable to all sorts of events, of which, at a minimum, when it comes to those events that can be readily controlled or modified, we should want to reduce accidents to something appreciably less than what we so see occurring, today.
