[QUOTE="KiwiBro, post: 6483808, member: 33374"] A pity we can't afford both and have instead focused on what I consider to be the wrong one. Without looking it up, take a guess how many forestry deaths here last year and how many were avoidable if only workers had worn their PPE, installed their roll cages, erected their signage, paid up their public liability insurance, got their chainsaw or other relevant 'tickets' (qualifications), and essentially followed the manuals that focus on the low-hanging fruit. It's my contention many of them would still be alive if we focussed resources not on empire building safety industry types enforcing PPE, etc, etc, etc but instead spent the time and money building and enforcing an apprenticeship framework.
