You have proven that you do no know what you are talking about.

Gratuitous attack. Merits no response.

It is just painfully obvious that you don't understand simple English let alone much about safety and emergency response.

Second gratuitous attack. Merits no response.

Those are hazardous tasks that can, and are performed safely when those involved follow their training protocols.

They can and are performed safely, in spite of the fact that they are blatantly unsafe.

Some people are either extremely frustrated or simply afraid of the fact that life itself is blatantly unsafe and beyond their personal control. They can't stand the fact that they aren't really in control, and that terrible things may happen to them no matter how safe they act.

In order to make themselves feel better, they wrap themselves in policies, procedures, rules and regulations just like a child clutches it's security blanket. These written rules and regulations are impotent against the realities of life, but they offer a psychological buffer against the life's uncertainties and help to ease the fear and frustration.

If it works for them personally, then that's terrific!

The rest of us live in the real world and understand that life doesn't follow our written rules and procedures. Sometimes life happens and we have to deal with it when it does.

Nothing gratuitous. No attack.

You simply seem not to know what “blatant” means.

To point out that you are ignorant of the topic isn’t an attack, especially when it is painfully obvious that you have no background in the topic and are speaking as an uninformed bystander.

Your opinions are simply erroneous and based on a lack of knowledge. Blatantly so.

There is no shame in lack of knowledge, but having too much pride to admit it is what gets people in over their head.
