People actually die because of characters like that. It's interesting that right here in this thread there are people arguing that industrial workers can't be pressured because of OHSA but in fact the opposite is true: short of a shutdown OHSA doesn't really do much that scares employers, they might issue some minor fine (a few thousand bucks at most in almost all cases for injuries and sometimes even death) so they feel just fine about putting the screws on employees and in states where you can be fired for anything people will definitely cut corners if they believe their employment is in danger if they don't take risk.
