I won’t wade into the intricacies of defining Waterfall or whether it has merit, but it definitely should be mentioned that Kanban—a capital A Agile technique which most capital A Agile advocates find unstructured and unpredictable (as in tends towards lowercase a agile)—was popularized by an auto manufacturer, where safety and liability are at least as much a concern as construction.

Kanban is a core but small part of TPS, it can't be said to be pro or against safety.

The poster's point is that it's not obviously defective from that standpoint, despite criticisms that imply that it is.

Almost exactly my point. There’s a fairly strong set of evidence that it’s safety-neutral at worst.
