I was talking to a Cornell faculty member who was also a skydiver and she reported that there is a similar system in that sector. There has been a precipitous decline in accidents over the last few decades as a result.
I guess when your business involves clear risks to your customers, you develop a proactive safety system. It will be interesting to see when the lab management community moves beyond surprise that there is risk to acknowledging and managing that list.
