I couldnt agree more, a false sense of saftey is not a good thing however one saved finger is fine with me. And from a selfish stand point, being in the homebuilding business for much of my adult life, though it thankfully has never happened yet (fingers crossed), I would gladly appreciate anything which will mitigate an injury to one of my guys, the subsequent comp claim, rate increase, and likely law suit.
This would be like bashing air bags because a few kids around the nation think its fun to steal a car and slam it into a tree to get the rush all the while knowing the airbags will save them (true). Of course there is the one time they dont fire, or the car was in a wreck and some hack didnt re-install the airbag, etc. That said, its a great thing that is now implemented across the board. Any and all recklessness is far outweighed by the benefit.
I apologize as I wasnt aware this was a re-run and already covered here, should have done a search. <poking myself in the eye>
