Well we can't judge and international agencies like the UN use it so it must be okay.
This is one of the areas with the worst safety record. If the UN insisted on safe operations and enforced decent standards in the operators to which they contract their work we would see an immediate improvement in the statistics.

The current UN policy of giving work to the lowest bidder actively encourages the worst practices.
