To me health and safety in mostly the responsibility of the company and of each person. The governments will never have enough resources or money to ensure safety in millions of companies and with hundreds of millions in the workplaces. The governments enforcements really are only reactive and not proactive, they are meant to deal with the worst case situations, but typically only after the fact. It is up to every member of management and every single worker to look out for themselves and others, that is the only thing that really works in my opinion.
