Uh, and quoting, "When you begin your meeting, 2026 has been particularly deadly in comparison to previous years." That means we're not heading in the right direction.

So it kind of aligns a little bit with, with some of our topics for the next couple of episodes.
You know, I think we get super focused on personal safety and protecting individual workers that sometimes we lose sight of process safety, and I'm talking about process safety even beyond what we normally find under OSHA's PSM standard in, in chemical plants.
So anyway, not being a good year, uh, maybe we can dive into that in another episode in the chemical processing business.
