That might be how he's justifying it, but looking from the outside and judging by his words and behavior it just seems like he really wants to get back to business and complete his vision / dreams.

I think he's probably considered some worker safety aspects of reopening production, and I also agree in reality with the precautions taken the risk is probably low. I also don't think worker safety is high on his list of priorities; more of a necessary thing that needs to be dealt with to get to his actual goal.
