As you know, it's much more structured in the United States. There is a lot more protection for whistle-blowers. You didn't analyze what is going on elsewhere in the world and you aren't yet at the stage where you can make recommendations and say that the entire system is based on voluntary statements. These are voluntary statements, but if the boss doesn't take them into account or, even worse, if he uses reprisals against an employee who dared make a statement about something that wasn't right with the equipment, there's a problem.
You haven't yet got to the point where you're recommending that the government draw on the U.S. regulations and protect the employee.
