In all due respect Don--what you say is just plain uninformed--to say the
least. Having spent my working life in the Health and Safety field I can
say with no reservations that safety devices/safety training/hazard
identification and elimination-etc -etc save many lives on a continuing
basis.
With this philosophy, you would send workers to work on a 2 foot ledge 50
feet in the air W/O a safety belt. Or, not guard a rotating shaft---or
allow workers to be exposed to just about any substance out there.
You ever see the results of a person who has been ejected from a vehicle
because "YES" because he wasn't wearing a safety belt? Surely you have
read those statistics.
No personal offence intended. I'm just amazed that this philosophy still
exists.
