Without regulation, the cost of someone dying on the job is the same as someone quitting: you just have to train a new person to do the job. That's not the type of society I'd like to live in. Regulation isn't perfect, but it's far better than no regulation. You keep on talking about regulators making a certain line of work illegal, but that's not what I'm suggesting. All work should be made as safe as possible.

Presumably the person taking on the job would ask for an appropriate compensation for the risk.

  That doesn't mean that the risk shouldn't be minimized.

    Yes it does. The compensation to the worker for the risk may cost more than reducing the risk. Therefore the risk will be minimized if possible to save cash.
