    In this episode, our safety ringmasters wrestle with the question: Are we over-engineering low-risk stuff, or is this just safety theatre under a new name?
    From lollipop-wielding stop-go engineers festooned in unnecessary PPE to the legal circus of “reasonably practicable,” the crew debates whether more controls actually mean safer workplaces—or just more paperwork and frustration.
    Expect sharp wit, a dash of case law, audience shoutouts, and some home truths about our misguided attempts to make everything “safer.” Is it all just a big balancing act on the Spinning Wheel of Death? Find out under the Big Top—safety’s never been this much fun!
