The most cited reason for considering the measures would not be helpful was that they focused more on post-accident punishment than prevention (57%, 92 enterprises).' For those who viewed the measures as helpful, the top reason was that they may lead to 'greater corporate investment in safety (30%, 18 enterprises).'
