This is not necessarily true. While I agree much of the "safety" showboating we see often at regional competitions is silly and unhelpful, but simple, visible posters in the workspace can certainly be good reminders for people working. They are certainly not going to turn an unsafe student into a safe student, but they can certainly help to lessen the chance of injury simply by keeping people mindful.
Moreover, baking soda for acid spills is a very good thing to have; just because you personally have not seen one does not mean they do not occur. It's far from the most important safety precaution in your typical FRC workplace, but it's not at all an unuseful one.
