(Based on the death/injury rate per worker.)

They should mandate more safety procedures to reduce the risk to these workers - what is in place now doesn't seem to be adequately protecting them.

Falling from that height, thinking you are going to die, is difficult to imagine. I hope he recovers and there is minimal lasting physical, and mental, injury.
