Paul, you couldn’t be more right. After 23 years in private sector I joined a department of energy funded research lab to design experimental equipment the scientists needed for research. The regulations were horrible. If the crew needed to dig a simple ditch to place a post, we had to file a report proving we had taken all the safety precautions. There had to be others present in case the digger injured himself, complete with procedures to execute first aid. 99.9 out of 100 times there never was a problem, but the paperwork was compulsory 100% of the time.
