I think you have a point in that the perception of risk is very often differs quite significantly from the actual risk - and sometimes that can be true for the people wiring the safety procedures as well as those that are meant to follow them. Certainly there's a tendency to "get used to" situations and accept the associated risks, regardless of the actual statistics. Often life forces that sort of attitude - if we thought logically we probably wouldn't even get to work since the hazards of road travel are often much higher than anything we're exposed to once at work. I can see that it might be a "challenge" to get people to think differently once they're crossed the threshold into a workplace.
(Correcting some of the more obvious grammatical/spelling errors might make the paper easier to read - e.g. don't use possessive 's for plurals, or shear instead of share)
