No, what he said was that in the state in which he works/resides, they have followed a more intelligent route than mandating a dangerous fix to a simple problem.

Clearly, he does not live or work in California.  Good for him.

"I recently bought several safety cabinets, and I found that it is the state that mandates sel f closing doors.  Luckily, we were able to purchase ones with manual doors."

 

This spooks me. The abo ve statement implies that even though self-closing doors are mandated by state law (probably a UFC state) but inconvenient, you have decided to ignore the law . I hope that's not what I read.

 

It's hard to convince employees of the importance of safety rules and standards when we ourselves ignore the "inconvenient" ones.
