  The vast majority of money paid out for workers comp already comes from insurance premiums paid by the construction companies. Safer contractors get lower premiums and too many accidents can make them uninsurable which usually drives them out of business.

    Keep in mind all workers are paying premiums too. Socialized costs aren't only governmental. The point here is this is not punitive in a way that would lead the company to behave differently. None of this will matter in a few years as project 2025 will effectively neuter any regulation and allow companies to do whatever they want. All that will hold them back from the most deplorable treatment of workers will be social media and spin affecting profits at that point.

    While it’s true about lower premiums to a point I think the incentive model is still pretty strong in favor for having poor safety practices just to the point where you could get sued for negligence.
