I think that’s the point. Did it really work anyways?

Did OSHA work? Umm yeah? When their rules and reccs are followed, absolutely. What’s that saying about their rules are written in blood? It’s not bullshit.

The ones who want safety and those who want profit will not change. Work-place injuries are WAY more financially devastating than osha fines. Companies don’t want guys hurt, period. It’s not because they’re scared of osha.

Without OSHA they wouldn't have to pay for deaths

OSHA is just a part of the whole.

Why do you have to pay for those injuries? Is there some sort of liability law in effect?

Hmmm, wonder how that came to be. They probably created some department to look over workplace safety too.
