Nah. My working theory is that it's all calculated.
Sure, yes, falls from height is one of the biggest workplace killers.
BUT, in raw numbers you're looking at 30-odd a year.
Put that up against how many people are up on roofs even just banging in solar panels on a daily basis. The probability of an accident occurring on any one site is incredibility small. So they roll the dice.
