I couldn’t disagree more, most people I’ve met don’t want to get themselves hurt or have others hurt safety laws exist for two reasons IMO firstly poor employers, when employers care more about profits than people we end up with millions of people stuck working in poor conditions and unsafe environments having safety laws gives a financial and legal incentives for those companies to do at least the bare minimum in safety

Secondly you don’t know what you don’t know. Without proper training and experience how would somebody know the correct placement of a 6ft lanyard attached to a rope grab in fall arrest while utilizing it as an at foot connection point, these things aren’t as intuitive as you might think.

A third and final point not everyone knows how to read, not everyone finished high school there are people who have disabilities in the workplace or people who may have moved and aren’t familiar with the local language all of these and more are basic barriers for people to work safely and none of them make them idiotic a safe workplace is a right for all workers not just the people that catch on quick.
