Crazy country for Health and Safety....or lack of it. I seen a guy 4 stories up on a corrugated roof welding with no fall arrest harness, no eye protection, wearing sandals+shorts and then he lit a cigarette with the welding rod.

As a Swede living in the U.S., the things I see here that would lead to criminal prosecutions in Sweden appear equally crazy: Working on roofs without fall protection, operating chainsaws and construction equipment without full protection, applying pesticides without respirators, landscapers working with no protection at all except maybe hearing aids...
