Why are there more and more man-made disasters?

In the first month of 2024, natural and man-made disasters will occur one after another, with continuous fire accidents in China and accidents on foreign aircraft.

Many people underestimate the impact of the economy, and the worse the economy, the more man-made disasters there are.

1. Man-made disasters in the private sector

The economy has slowed down, profits have fallen, and the first reaction of companies must have been to cut costs.

Whether it is the reduction of enterprise personnel, the work of one person doing the work of two people, or the decline in wages, the front-line employees must not be very happy, and the work is easy to be not in place.

When it comes to work in the field of safety, it is easy to cause major accidents.

For example, in order to cut costs, companies may also deliberately reduce the cost of safety inspections, such as changing inspections once a year to once every two years, and failing to replace aging parts without replacing.

2. Man-made disasters in the public sector

If the economy slows down, fiscal revenue will decline, and correspondingly, the enthusiasm of the personnel of functional departments will decline.

As a result, safety work is easily overlooked, and accidents at common facilities are easily caused.

Of course, in order to avoid this problem, when the general system is designed, the salaries of public officials are "rigid", and the income is guaranteed by drought and flood, and will not be reduced due to the economic downturn.

However, if the economic downturn is too severe and the decline in fiscal revenue is so severe that it affects the enthusiasm of public officials, it will also cause accidents.

3. The cost of the system increases

Once the economy is weak, all enterprises should pay attention to attendance and system assessment, so they can't finish writing materials and inexhaustible formalism.

Originally, everyone's work could not be completed, the salary fell again, and you occupied a lot of energy in this regard, and the employee's own work will naturally be negligent.

In a word: the worse the economy, the more man-made disasters will be. This is both human nature and the law of economics.
