If he was to get his way I would lose out on some audit income but would more than make up the loss in my role as an accident investigator.

I'm very interested in not having an accident. Anything that reduces the chance of that is welcome.
I'm talking about things like having to find and wear a hi vis vest to walk out side. Take it off to get in the AC. Struggle back into it with the rotor wash threatening to blow it into the tail rotor if it becomes necessary to disembark with the machine running. All to not fix a problem that doesn't exist.
(Has anyone every been hit by a vehicle on a tarmac in a situation where wearing a yellow vest would have prevented the accident? I've never heard of one.)
I'm talking about pool cleaners being forced to wear life jackets.
Hard hats to look in a baggage compartment.
I'm always keen to learn.
Give us an example of a crash you have prevented with your auditing.
No sarcasm or malice. As I've tried to explain, I don't associate external audits with "safety departments" unless the recommendations are like the examples above.
