I have been a witness in an OSHA investigation, and it is absolutely dispicable what companies will do/say in order to pass the blame onto an innocent employee (e.g. "he was always such a go-getter, and that day he voluntarily placed himself into harm's way"). Elsewhere in this discussion/thread, some speculate that "masculinity" is the main culprit (i.e. not company's fault); certainly ego factors in, but few employees ignore safety rules when companies properly penalize non-compliance. "Safety third" still allows for working environments which don't kill/fire employees over time-saving stupidity.
