This is hugely mistaken. If you're an expert in compliance in one field, often your insights are valid in another field.
For example, anybody who has certified a data center knows that Fukushima was both in the wrong location and had wonky power distribution.
Anybody in aviation knows the Tyndall F-22s were in the wrong location after Kermit Weeks' collection was destroyed in Florida in 1990.

The reason for that is mismanagement - managers and HR would be personally criticized for "being soft" if they offered raises, regardless of the benefits to the company of doing so.
