Part of the problem is simply that people are NOTORIOUSLY bad at accurately assessing risk... it's actually been studied. We're **** at it and should just listen to the stats and experts because our "gut feelings" are usually way off  |
Is it though?, I wonder how many times people on building sites actually get hit on the head (or on their hard hat) (I have no idea by the way, I'm just curious)
