[Shop-talk] drive wheel responses

When you say stuff like that, I just have to go and look it up:

Where did OSHA come from? The United State Congress, in response to 
the high number of injuries, illnesses, and fatalities experienced by 
workers in American workplaces, passed legislation titled the 
Occupational Safety & Health (OSH) Act of 1970. It was signed into 
law by the President in December of 1970, and became effective in 
April of 1971 (and you thought the only thing we had to remember 
Richard Nixon for was the Watergate scandal). To help implement this 
new Act, Congress authorized the creation of a new federal agency, 
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
