Hi Hugo,
You said it so well. Can I quote you?
This is a mantra I try to explain to anyone that ever steps in a lab like all of you do daily!

Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] Science Item on Safety and Productivity
This is a mantra I have drilled into my students for ten years. "Safe Science is Successful Science". An accident is, by definition, something you didn't mean to happen - and there are way more ways for an experiment to fail, than to fail dangerously. The more you know, the more you control, the more likely you are to succeed experimentally, _and also_ the more safe you are.
Knowing what you are doing, knowing why, and making sure you do it serves producitivity and safety simultaneously. The two cannot be disentangled.
