Seems like a complete no-brainer to me. If employer is found to not enforce basic safety things, no matter how skilled the worker who doesn't use them is, they receive a hefty fine. We are not talking about a guy who sometimes forgets to wear a mask or anything insignificant like that, but complete "f u I won't wear shit" attitude that should be met only with "ok, get lost then". It's extremely simple when you think about it. If you give the option to either be safe or not, the cool guys will never take the safe option and even bully those who do because unfortunately that's just how tradie culture is in general.
People can destroy their health for all I care, but the society should care a lot about enforcing certain things on employers because I don't really believe that those employers are voluntarily paying the medical bills of their victims.
