There is one key issue here and believe it or not, it isn’t necessarily personnel safety.
The driving issue is the fear of blame attribution. In other words, once the proverbial finger is pointed, the incident could lead to court action and those responsible being sued or fined.
This can be a costly exercise.
We aren’t so cynical to believe this is the only reason health and safety is important. Sadly though, we live in a country obsessed with blame and punishment.
