I'm reminded of the phrase "regulations are written in blood".

I'm also tempted to point out that anybody can give high-voltage work a whirl.... once.

But what do I know, I'm not a sparky, I'm one of them snot-nosed software engineering types. Y'know, the one engineering field that's too free and clever to get licensed, bonded, insured, or unionized. /s

Who needs regulation, anyways? I bet Matthew Broderick's Wargames was pure science fiction, and Upton Sinclair's The Jungle was just an exaggeration. Let's go burn some OSHA manuals and start up an Ayn Rand bookclub! /s
