- W1567961480 abstract "The passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 represents the latest extension of a form of government regulation that began in the United States almost a century ago. Government standards concerning the physical environment of the workplace were first promulgated in America by Massachusetts, which required in 1877 that [t]he belting, shafting, gearing and drums of all manufacturing establishments, when so located as to be, in the opinion of the inspectors hereinafter mentioned, dangerous to employees while engaged in their ordinary duties, shall be, as far as practicable, securely guarded.1 This standard covered less than 350,000 employees. Today, under federal legislation, 62 million American workers are covered by safety rules which govern virtually every aspect of the workplacefrom asbestos particles to toilet partitions. Compared to other significant government programs, safety legislation has historically been uncontroversial. Early legislation was adopted in an era when most forms of government intervention in business and labor affairs were regarded as unconstitutional. A similar accommodating attitude has prevailed in more recent times. The debate prior to the 1970 federal Act focused on the administrative details of the proposed legislation rather than on the wisdom of a large federal safety effort. The typically noncritical nature of the debate is surely due to the moralistic nature of the safety issue. Even to question the basic premises of regulation via safety standards is often associated with an insensitivity toward workers' safety. It is just such an examination, however, which is necessary in order to understand the regulation of safety and to evaluate particular statutes such as the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. It is the purpose of this paper to examine both the theoretical and empirical premises of alternative methods available for industrial accident control.2" @default.
