    Pretty much every OSHA rule came from some kind of death or dismemberment of they guy before you. As a wise foreman once said, "Better a pain in the ass than your ass in pain”

    I think Osha fills a very important role.

    Qatar didn’t have any effective regulatory bodies during the Soccer World Cup and some of the top officials involved in to put the fatalities somewhere between four and five hundred.

      It’s a solution as old as humanity … if work place problems cause people to die, the solution is simple … get more cheap labour.

      To the rich its an economic problem … what’s cheaper? Fixing an expensive problem or saving money by buying more cheap workers and not bother changing a thing.
