"They would choose to not work." I simply do not believe that. If the rules are set correctly and everyone understands them then it's easy to work within those rules. For example, everyone knows not to fiddle the company's books—if one does and is caught then tough, one suffers the consequences. Let's be clear about this, we're not talking about genuine mistakes or unforseen consequences, force majeure/Act of God or such but deliberate coverups when evidence of problems presents itself. The rules would be simple, anyone who became aware of a dangerous issue would be liable to report it and be strongly protected at law from retribution by vindictive management. I would add this would be no different to Occupational Health and Safety law that already exists in many jurisdictions. __ Edit: such laws would also be framed to avoid unnecessary damage to a company's reputation from trivial or even vindictive actions by wayward employees. Ways of reporting—both within a company and to government agencies—to ensure companies don't suffer undue harm already exist in some existing and proposed whistleblower legislation. They could easily be adopted.
