In my experience, if you have a boss that bitches about OSHA and how they're totally unnecessary, you've got a shitty boss. I'm talking the kind that would get you killed to save a nickel and then go on about how they're the real victims of you going and getting yourself killed like that.
Yeah, as someone who has to design around Osha, I fucking love them. It's incredibly convenient to have "safe enough" written down and with requirements that I can tell the money people I'm professionally obligated to not knowingly contribute to bypassing. And the recommendations are great, "we won't stop you, but if you get sued you're at fault" is excellent.
Without this, employees will still get hurt, they'll still sue in accordance with the employers legislatively maneat3e requirement to maintain a safe working environment, but now without chevron and without Osha recommendations and requirements I have no idea what the judge will decide. And furthermore I don't have a handy guide to safe enough. And without that I'm left grappling with management and my conscience and my limited knowledge of something related to but not fully my field.
I feel the same about the EPA. These regulatory bodies are great reference tools to obligations that remain.
