Obviousily you live in a very perfect world! Free from the influences of human nature, stress or other outside demands that cause normally COMPETENT OPERATORS to make poor decisions.

We all act differently when we are under the supervision or direct control of others. Employers live under the constant fear of being sued or fined into oblivion. When an employer has a proactive means at thier disposal to control a known and recoginized hazard, they would be very foolish not to give that very careful consideration.

I can promise you that any attempt to be proactive before the accident will be greatly more effective than all the reactive actions to mount a defense after the accident!
