Technology has it's place. It finds value only when coupled with operators who have been trained properly and the company leadership truly values safety. Too many times I've seen lazy, irresponsible management experience an accident and their first responses; "can't we limit the truck?" or "let's redesign the layout of the facility" or "let's add mirrors, lights, and technology". None of that will have a significant impact on the environment if proper training is not happening and management is actively demonstrating their desire that everyone go home every night and have supper with their families... and not ending up in the emergency room or worse... the morgue. You can't get that with technology alone.

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
