Behind Safety Painting

‘Behind Safety’ is the 2nd part of the diptych revealing what really stands behind safety in the world of commercial entities. Research into the closed world of oil corporations have led to the unequivocal conclusion that safety is not so much a concern for the life and health of workers in the hazardous industry as the reluctance of oil business owners to lose billions in compensation for damage to potential disasters. Though, this is given out, first of all, precisely for caring for the life of workers and the environment. The tragic experience of past accidents has shown that it is much more profitable for owners of a multi-billion dollar business to spend just several millions to unify the behavior model of their personnel with the aim of its absolute controllability within strict limits of permissible actions than to be responsible for consequences of potential disasters, paying billions in compensation for them. Meanwhile, the 2010 Gulf of Mexico explosion and similar man-made disasters show that risk is always present and can be high, and companies’ executives are well aware of how such risks can be reduced, - it is better to spend millions on brainwashing their employees in order to keep safety under constant control than to lose billions on the payment of compensation for the consequences of accidents. One of the paradoxes of the imperfection of modern society lies in the fact that behind the safety of people in hazardous production is not so much concern for their lives as the desire to save potential billions of beneficiaries of the dangerous business. In the coincidence of these two factors, the logic of a controlled model of behavior of some is realized for the benefit of others reaping the fruits of such control. Unfortunately, it is money in their world that continues to determine everything, including the safety of the lives of the people that this money brings. Money is behind safety.
