I would imagine that it would be added to the Safety Manual and the Administration Manual since it would be a general FIRST rule and not game specific.
And if we are really talking about preparing kids for the "real world" industries, how many companies ignore significant safety hazards cause new rules would make "the manuals too long."
I am sure there are lots of teams who don't read the manuals as they are written now and that would be unlikely to change even if we did shorten them. TL;DR is a real thing after all. That is why (like other game and safety rules) it has be regularly discussed and enforced until it becomes as natural as wearing safety glasses.
