You&#x27;d need to look at death&#x2F;injury by sector to see its effect. FWIW, I don&#x27;t have a horse in this race, but I&#x27;m inclined to believe OSHA is a good thing. AFAIK most economics&#x2F;manufacturing research has suggested the health and safety precautions in developed countries are cost-effective. Moreover, it&#x27;s probably telling that most (all?) other developed countries have similar health and safety agencies.
