I believe that's worth at least $2, as it's a very nice summary.
The only point I would argue is that we should expect every faculty member
(and staff and student) to be vigilant about safety and training, but
unfortunately the reality is that they are not, and as you say, due to the
lack of centralized controls, it can be quite difficult to force
compliance.
