Ah yes, the construction industry, the pinnacle of employment standards.
Don't get me wrong, I have huge respect for the industry and I deal with construction crews usually from the owner's side of things, but the old timers who still think HSSE is a farce and being sick means you're a pussy are still prevalent, and the young labourers just feed off that mantra. Thankfully management at most medium-to-large companies are instigating changes.
Also for any high profile or large scale jobs, at least during the peak of covid, you so much as cough and you're removed from site until you test negative, so your experience is as anecdotal as mine.
