People act like OSHA is this gang of fun-haters who make up stupid rules to make their jobs annoying. Literally every single regulation OSHA has ever written was in response to someone getting maimed; usually killed, but sometimes merely losing a limb or two. Occasionally breathing corrosive gas.

I was told that the first workplace safety rule was “you must bathe your chimney sweeps once per week”. Keeping in mind that the chimney sweeps were young boys who’d be sent up chimneys naked and the creosote was causing scrotal cancer. There’s so much that we don’t realize we can lose.

I can help but wonder how he tries to justify this to himself (assuming he has a justification beyond "I'm Clarence Thomas and I deserve more money, so i'll rule however you want for the right price")

Chimney sweeps’ scrotum and fossy jaw are another couple. Try not to see any pictures if you can avoid it.

I mean, my Mom used to teach forklift safety. I have seen some of the cautionary videos she used, and, well, let’s just say there are safety regulations around heavy machinery for REASONS, and those reasons include “you don’t want to end up resembling a special effect in a gore-fest horror movie”

But OSHA causes his Very Rich Buddies would make slightly less ludicrous amounts of money than they otherwise might, and we can't have that! 🤦

But glowing lips are hawt. Seriously though, let’s add Triangle Shirtwaist to the list. There are many others, but those two are really good examples of how safety regulations are written in blood and suffering. We do not need to go back to that.

If the size of Kate Moore's The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women feels like too dense of a read, I'd also suggest this graphic novel as a good introduction. The book mentioned above is a FANTASTIC source, but 400+ pages can feel daunting.

We should reclassify the Secret Service as "Workplace Safety" and see how fast he changes his tune.
