It matters legally, to determine liability (civil and criminal).

But it doesn't matter if you're trying to make a piece of equipment safe. Have you ever filled out at a workplace accident form? "Not being careful" is not a sufficient explanation for the accident, and telling people to be more careful is not an acceptable response. Of course, people should try to be careful, but actual people are not perfect, which is why equipment and procedures need to be fault-tolerant. If people keep being killed or injured by a piece of equipment it is not good enough to complain that "they were not following procedure".
