No money => no safety
Take a look at history as far back as it will go. Safety expenses only happen when the money is there.
Next time you see someone using a chainsaw, take a look at their protective equipment. If they work for a company, they're likely wearing:
1. ear protection
2. face shield
3. helmet
4. kevlar gloves
5. kevlar chaps
6. kevlar boots
If they're some rando with a saw, odds are pretty good they have none of that on. They won't spend their own money on their own safety. It's only deemed essential if someone else is paying for it.
Actual safety comes from training, practice and operations - such as understanding how the tool works, what unexpected dangers exist, what techniques to avoid, the state of the immediate environment, prioritising safety (eg by not creating time pressure) and the design of the tool itself (eg chain guards and anti whip mechanisms)
By the time your Kevlar armour comes into play you are well outside the safety zone and deep into the shit your pants zone.
> wrong answer: what’s a sprint cycle?
You don’t have to have sprints to be agile. What’s important are the four values.
The manifesto says, “Individuals and interactions over process and tools” but this document then goes on to talk a lot about specific processes and tools.
It’s a trap!
