Ignoring standards and safety regulation goes a bit beyond talking about hindsight, its criminal negligence and possibly manslaughter. Far far too many people do things in their working life because they can and not because they should. 999 times out of a 1000 you get away with it, but safety regs are there for the 1 time you don't. I've had this argument with too many unqualified bellends looking to please the bosses.Hindsight is 20/20.
