It seems Ireland is much tougher on that safety thing. In Sweden, construction business has a bad reputation, as it - alongside bars and restaurants - it's the place for shady business. This sometimes reflects onto safety and health. There have e.g. been complaints that is little or no control over the chemicals used. (Not as in not locked in, but as in "I didn't know that could kill you")
The wiring consists of 400V CEE and 230V Schuko extension cords run all over the place. These days RCD's are often used and I don't think there are very many accidents.
