Wouldn't have made much difference to me
if I'd been dead.

But..
if you hadn't died by falling off a chair on a table - it's not that high. You'd have no job, and lots of medical costs & probably be unable to work again.
Patience and/or getting a key cut & doing your "working at heights" training are virtues.
tl;dr
Standing on a chair on top of a table isn't risky, it's stupid.

On the other hand, locking away safety equipment to those that haven't done the course isn't safer
it's stupid. it just means the people who don't know how to do things safely are now forced to do it in a fundamentally unsafe way to begin with.

Yes, you're quite right.
Patience would have been the correct way. But using a stepladder would have been an easier route. And although I didn't get to go on the course, I am aware of how to use a ladder correctly.
