I think too much safety is annoying and stupid. To me safety is often about mindset. I think companies like to force a bunch of stupid safety rules on people so they can try to get out of being sued for doing really dumb shit like hiring drug addicts or people with zero experience to do dangerous jobs. I think it's really insulting that as an adult, you have to be uncomfortable all day and deal with stupid stuff to work at a job you are being massively underpaid for anyways.
Safety is important sometimes. You should definitely be careful around machines and wear safety glasses sometimes, but for some reason the people who do most of the work at companies often end up being abused by shitty companies who want to lobby the government for tax breaks, but never on behalf of their workers.
It's quite sad how people spend decades wearing uncomfortable clothing working long hours, and have to subject themselves to humiliation by wearing stupid and ugly clothes simply to get a bit of sympathy from our extremely materially obsessed society and our toxic capitalist system.
