safety is first from the consumer point of view, then efficiency, then quality. Consumers will buy anything that works, and don't care that much about quality any more. Dead consumers don't generate repeat business...

Safety: Most important, if a process or a product does not display a high enough level of safety then it will either be banned and/or will cost money to correct.
Quality and Efficiency are contentious, quality breeds efficiency (Lean manufacturing) but in the real world efficiency is probably higher than quality, if you can make something cheap enough it will sell regardless of its level of quality.

Safety first so you don't get hurt; quality so it runs without breaking and then efficiency

Hey these are all relative terms
Safety is on first
Quality is on Second then Efficiency will be least
in my view it is trade-off
u want high quality and safe product but inefficiency will be the result
agreed ?

Safety first, as the others don't matter if you're dead.
Then probably quality, though it depends what we're talking about here.
