One way to add an extra control to prevent this kind of dangerous practice is to build good H&S into specs/contracts. Units often pay more attention to contract clauses (because if they don't comply they might not get paid) than they do to the law or good practice guidelines.
I do this on a regular basis when commissioning work for clients. That way, if the unit won't ensure good safety practice on site, I can tell them they will be in breach of contract. There have been occasions when I have had to threaten to sack the unit off site if they did not buck their ideas up on H&S.
