What is the difference between ensuring workers' don't die at work from an
industrial accident and ensuring that workers' don't die at work from
starvation?
Or for that matter, ensuring workers' don't die from an industrial accident
caused by overwork and fatigue and malnutrition.
If worker's are free to go somewhere else to work, surely they must be free
to engage in whatever risks are present in a workplace? And free to
increase their level of risk to make themselves more productive too?
