Re: Its not the fall thats fatal... A guess and just a guess would be that prevention smells liability. If a worker fails to follow safety protocol and dies, his or her family can sue but most likely would fail or not win big unless they showed serious wrong doing. However, if said company set up these devices (which I doubt would work but let's assume they do) and a worker still died, the company would be facing a huge financial loss. Said family could say the company gave the worker a false sense of security and the device failed to work. Then, they'd be on the offensive stating that it was a backup and not intended to be a failsafe. Hence, I just imagine its cheaper to let the worker fall and write it off as stupidity of human error than to try to take preventative measures. |
