I had a similar discussion with a railway company recently about the dangers of over-crowding. They denied that there's a problem, saying that basically that there was no issue because nothing bad had happened yet.

In other words: "everything is safe until it goes wrong." That cladding on Grenfell would be a prime example of the flaw in that approach and we all know that the Titanic was unsinkable ...

Probably not a bad idea to register your concerns in some small way, even if just in an email to your line manager. It might not prevent any calamities but it will at least show that you weren't the one with your head in the sand.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. - Mark Twain
