Summary
Safety knowledge and best practices evolve continuously as we learn from incidents, research, and technological advances. Interesting fact: Many practices considered safe decades ago are now known to be dangerous - asbestos was once considered a miracle material, and benzene was used in consumer products. Workers who stop learning eventually find themselves using outdated and potentially dangerous methods.
