It's still just a matter of political will.

You would be AMAZED at how quickly things would be fixed. At rates previously claimed "beyond impossible", IF governments "pulled the plug" until things were fixed... rather than issuing fines or providing grace periods (and subsequent extensions).

I've worked at places that would just eat compliance fines (not for health). Just straight up eat them. They put a token team on it... but continually divert that time to other tasks.

The companies that claim these things cannot be done are the same ones who said they couldn't survive without slavery, with any environmental regulations, with a 5 day work week, without being able to use child labour, with a minimum wage, without strikebreakers etc etc etc. It's literally industries job to push back on anything that cuts into thier bottom line at all. It's governments job to say "bullshit"

I hear you that these companies would make excuses just to make the executives more money. Wish someone in my government had the balls to yell bullshit but they all just see the project dollars and know they can use that number to get re-elected. Politicians are cunts
