This seems like a (perhaps deliberate, but I'll assume good faith) misunderstanding of what "safety first" means. It doesn't mean we should prioritise any safety improvement above any other objective. It simply means that before we start on a plan or action we should minimise any safety risk as low as is reasonable. Clearly we can debate what reasonable means, and it will differ for different people, but it isn't an absolutest point or mantra.
