A long-time friend (Bill Conlon, President at Pintail Power) and a remarkable engineer (not officially an SE- LOL) shared with me his first published article, from April 1975, in which he argued against relying on Administrative Controls and instead advocated for safety through design as the way to manage risks.
Now, for a man who has several engineering patents, a PhD in Nuclear Engineering, and is a Registered PE – Mechanical, to be as grounded in safety as Bill, it explains how we have been friends for years.
