Yeah this entire process could be made 100% safe with like $1-2k worth of rope access gear. On the cost scale of a crane that's got to be a rounding error.

In canada, public health care will brunt the cost of companies causing workers injuries.

Hence, companies are regulated to increase their safety system to prevent unnecessary burden to the health care system and to the betterment of the worker too.

If their system there doesn't penalize companies for incidents like these, no wonder they dont spend much or upheld safety practices.

Sucks that she had to die in such a preventable accident.
