yes, safety IS money. But in construction, if you can make a safe site, you're halfway to making higher profits.
You're less inclined to get OH&S fines from the municipality (which saves money), you wont have higher worker protection premiums (which saves money), your site is not likely to get closed by the unions, which could end up into overruns on time for which you may have to pay liquidated damages to your subcontractors for delays, not to mention other time related costs set out in the contracts, as well as your running costs on your own overheads and preliminaries.
to be honest i dont know exactly what you do in your job, but in mine, it pays to be safe.
fyi - we wouldnt be at a bar because i dont drink...unless its hooters.
