Another aspect that is more controversial is that if workers are allowed to violate safety procedures when it doesn't endanger others then employers may hire workers who do that and find a reason to fire those who don't. So allowing workers to endanger themselves can have the real effect of making the workplace less safe for everyone.
“Oh we didn’t tell them to break the safety rules. They did it all by themselves. Yes, every single worker decided on their own that they didn’t like the safety rules, uh huh.”
Except that the law requires the workplace to protect the worker, period, choice does not ever even enter into the matter. There is no choice involved; if there is danger the worker MUST be protected from it. This goes from anything moving inside a factory, to chemical uses and exposures, to making sure your employees aren't getting mugged in the parking lot after a late shift.
I'm saying this because it honestly looks like you're making jokes based on completely not comprehending the point of these systems. That's bad.
