Workers are pushing for improved training and safety standards to help avoid falls, electrocution and equipment failure.
i think “safety standards” in general are soon to be a thing of the past. that sort of thing costs money, and 1% no spend money, only take money
When someone dies it costs money to find, hire, and then train a new person. So if the old person doesn’t die/quit you save money. If too many people die/quit you get a reputation and then you need to pay even more as people decide to work at McDonald’s rather than risk their life (or whatever you bad job experience is about.

More than half said that they’d felt pressure to work beyond their safe capacity due to long hours or lack of rest days. Still more said they’d had to work alongside colleagues who were not properly trained.
So if we get to a point where the job is quick to train for and the market is over-saturated with qualified, unemployed candidates, what then?
Wind is cheap and green. Least we can do is spend a little extra for safety.
Railings.
They need railings.
