Ya haram! Has nobody there ever flippin' heard of OSHA? <expletives deleted>

OSHA was created in 1970, under the Nixon Administration, but rules and regulations had to be developed and enforcement means had to be negotiated with industry. A lot of the really effective standards only came to be generally accepted at the demand of liability insurance companies. It is still far from perfect.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
