Synopsis
In broad strokes, the film traces the history of the relationship between man, machine and workplace safety from the early 1900s to today, discovering that fear of the machines has given way to a sense of nearly unconditional trust. How did this change come about? Does man no longer need to live in fear of machines but only in fear of his own errors? What surprises does the future hold? Above all, is safety culture a conquest of technological progress alone? The answers to these questions are given by the workers of yesterday, today and tomorrow through archive images and footage filmed in an industry leader in workplace automation and advanced technologies.
