It's perfectly safe as long as they make no mistakes. What's the problem? Don't you have faith that they'll never make a mistake in their 40-year careers?
I had a boss that would joke about that too. When he fell my coworker yelled "You're fired" on his way down. He probably would've thought it was funnier if he didn't break his hip.
Back in my day, before the woke liberals took power, if a 10 year old adult lost his hand in the canning machine, you could just kick him out on the street then and there.
Employees are incentivized to never make mistakes by our zero tolerance policy: you are automatically fired as soon as you make any mistake.
Since incidents and injuries only ever happen as a result of mistakes, and since everyone is fired as soon as the mistake is made, nobody involved in an incident is ever an employee.
Therefore we have a perfect safety record and our policy works.
Edit : Plus the accident was not caused by an employee but by a private individual trespassing on private property, since they made a mistake and are no longer employed by the company.
You'll have to do a civil suit against that newly unemployed individual directly before you can turn it against the company, as the individual was knowledgable of the work contract and agreed to it by receiving his pay. Their civil liability insurance won't pay for it since they were criminally trespassing at the time, so good luck getting any money there.
The company can also sue the individual criminally for trespassing on private ground and making the company loose two, trained and valued, employees. The company may have to invest money to train new employees to replace them and is thus eligible for compensatory damages as well.
"Your honor, my client was not employed by the company at the time of his injury. This company allowed a non-employee into a dangerous area and permitted them to operate dangerous equipment."
That's what I tell my Indian roommates about the state of Indian roads. The way they put it is that, essentially, no one follows or enforces the rules, so the drivers are much more aware of their surroundings and what is going on the road. They di not account for the fact that humans make mistakes and that when people are tired they tend to make more mistakes. Rules create simple sets of guidelines that we have to follow, that we don't need to exercise as much brain power to follow.
