  I think that tragedies like these should absolutely cast a spotlight on the institutional and procedural weaknesses that may have contributed. With this in mind I still I have to say - it blows my mind that someone could be working with prions and not be wearing the correct hand protection. Why? How often did they work so unsafely? How many others aren't? Did nobody notice and speak up? Even the article itself doesn't seem to ask these questions.

    From articles I've read (and my father's experience in construction work), the biggest challenge in workplace safety is getting the workers to wear the damn equipment that's specifically made to save their life. It's especially dangerous with unscrupulous bosses, who will just shrug and not have a fight with their own employees over making them follow the regulations.
