A less catchy but more apt take would be Safety Always - we do things (e.g. commute) for a purpose, if safety was first priority, over everything else, we'd never leave our homes. Just don't do stupid crap, be mindful of safety as we are doing what we need to get done.
The host was relating to the fact that in one particular instance, the safety officer for a particular job was so concerned about safety, it meant that he couldn't get his job done.
In this context, we commute somewhere to do things. If safety
is paramount over everything else, we should not be commuting in Bikes or Cars at all. Both have their risk.
