I wouldn't say it's a fact C'mon, admittedly some H&S implementation does save lives & has proven useful at preventing injury, but a lot of it is unnecessary box ticking & protectionist. As I've mentioned previously, a fair part of the population at large don't deem common sense, self sufficiency & personal liability their concern nowadays, if somethings happened to them it was obviously someone elses fault & as such they're "entitled" to Compo from someone or something!

And that, reinforced by ACL's & nannying, mollycoddling government interference in to all aspects of private & personal life has reduced a once independent, willful, self reliant nation of people to the sorry misbegotten wretches you see or read about daily in the tabloids & loathsome "Reality" TV.
