Re: End Safety Theater

While I agree that "safety theatre" can be overdone, I think it's important to remember that there's a difference between doing things safely and having a safety culture. If safety is going to be not just a practice but a fundamental value, it will have to get expressed somehow.

And I don't mind posters telling me things I already know. I'm also an auto racing marshal. At our morning briefings, the corner captain will go over a bunch of safety procedures that every marshal knows. I used to find it redundant until one of my captains explained the reason behind them to me: those briefings help to move that knowledge into our "active memory" where it can be accessed quickly and easily. Now that I'm a corner captain myself, I give these briefings myself, but I explain why to my crew. I see these safety posters as fulfilling a similar purpose.
