“Did Excel spreadsheets replace safety professionals? Did the establishment of OSHA standards replace safety professionals? Did online safety checklists replace safety professionals? Did Microsoft Word put authors out of business?
The answer to all of the above is no. I like to use a commercial aircraft analogy to explain. Imagine looking to the left as you board the plane and not seeing a cockpit or pilots–technology has replaced them. The next question is, how fast do you turn around and refuse to board that plane? Even though the commercial aircraft could probably fly itself, we still need human involvement to provide direction and put the passengers at ease if an unexpected situation arises during flight. We expect to see a human being in the cockpit.”
