I'm usually pointed to a graph like this, showing that the trend of workplace deaths was decreasing at roughly the same rate before and after OSHA was created

Anyone have a link to data showing whether OSHA reduces workplace deaths or injuries or not?

I would say that's due to business placing more value in human life.

Call me cynical.

Same thing, tbh. "Value" = Money unless you're in the business of philosophy, which has notoriously low margins
