An unfortunate expression to say the least but which confirms that there is still a lot of work to be done so that we understand that shared commitment and responsibility between employers and workers are the only way to achieve concrete results in terms of safety. Results that are measured, concretely, in a lower number of accidents or worse deaths at work”.
