Default but what about those guys? OHS| OSH issues

We got the safety guys or shiny asses (Ekka quote) all up our asses all the time but......what about those guys.

Watched these 2 guys maybe couple hundred feet up in the air with no safety attachments whatsoever climbing around the scaffolding.

Last week I watched 4 guys walking around four stories up and above a sunken concrete drive climbing around on a roof with plywood under an arm on a very sharp angle roof with no safety line at all. Chimney sweeps, third story painters also on high roofs with no safety restraints every day.

Any of you guys notice this? Anyone think we are being beat to death by desk jockies and retired types spewing legislation to make our job more tedious and uncomfortable because they never did it or do not do it anymore if they ever did it with any competence anyway? Why they zoned in on us?
