I got spoilt at my last permanent position where we were encouraged to
continue improving safety of the research operations all the time. It took
time in implementation, but if you made a case for the improvements then
it would likely get implemented.

The research establishment (in high energy physics) were, during my
time aiming at and achieving a Zero Injured Persons goal.
