This problem (expedient fix on the floor/in the field) is a cause of how many accidents, megabucks wasted and lives lost?
I deal with this stuff daily in the explosives testing/nuclear materials world. We spend five times the time and money checking the work than we do doing the work. Kills me to have to do that....

Oh he's gone all right, but the task assigned to me is "to ensure we have no future re-occurrences".
Since he was a contractor he was easy to let go. If he was a company employee he would still have his job even though the cost to the company for his poor judgment was probably in the high six figure range.
I can't develop a system or procedure or series of checklists to prevent willful and intentional wrongdoing. He knew better and did it anyway. You can't fix that with paper or words.
I suppose I could write a policy that states an armed guard has to follow each and every craftsman in the company 24 hrs/day (all 4000 or so of them) and shoot to kill if they fail to follow the thousands of policies and practices and guidelines we already have and train extensively on, but I don't think the union would agree to that
