This is terrifying, that your life could be destroyed by a colleagues indefensible negligence.

To be fair that is true for many jobs. Anytime you are working around heavy machinery for example.

What gets me is that their whole profession is about getting a known dangerous task and figuring out if/how the scene can be performed in a safe manner. With time in advance to prepare, and mitigate risks.

And yet they still cut corners.
