His examples aren't that bad actually.
Remoteness of probability means pretty much nothing in the OH&S world when the problems solution is wearing a $5 vest which is already part of the kit given to officers.
Even if it only saves 1 life, or injury in 20 years, it is irrelevant. It is a piece of PPE which costs absolutely no additional money for anyone to use, and has the probability of saving a life. In the world of safety, this is a no brainer. Use the fucking vest.
In terms of enforcement, yeah your probably right, WorkSafe has more imminent problems to deal with.
