Adding to safety rules only make it more likely that an accident will happen, because people loose track of which ones they have followed and which ones the have not.

I've had a few very good coaches over the years, both firearms (used to compete in Olympic style air-rifle many years ago) and auto racing. They both said things like it 'takes thousands of repetitions of an action for it to be ingrained in your memory'.
Safety rules are the same.
You can 'know' not to sweep the firing line. It takes 1000's of conscious repetitions for it to become completely second nature.
