Sure, it's terrible that anyone had to die, but I'm assuming they don't have something like
OSHA in place in Greece.
From my time stationed in Charleston, SC, I learned about the effect of OSHA regs on construction. Of the two main bridges (there is a 3rd under construction) spanning the Cooper River between downtown Charleston and Mount Pleasant, SC, during the construction of the first bridge (pre-OSHA) over 100 people died. In the construction of the second, and larger, bridge (post-OSHA), only 4 died. Now, 4 is still tragic, but the improvement is dramatic.
Yeah, there's a lot of red tape associated with OSHA, but it
has made the workplace (no matter what or where it is) a safer place.
