Angry safety

On the site I work on in OZ everonr gets to wear yellow shirts with reflective tape on,its mandatory from the top down .They are light and comfortable and from forays intot he nearbye town it looks like most companies provide them for thier workers.I also wear safety glasses and sometimes ear protection.when I started in industry none of this was mandatory nor was there a safety "culture"(1955ish).There were many accidents back then and things are much better now so what have Ppruners got against safety?Yes there are more rules than you can shake a stick at but in the long run lives get saved.
