Seems like sometimes OSHA takes it too far – there are signs on toasters in the deli section of my local supermarket indicating that no employees under 18 could use them. These are ordinary toasters, like you’d find in your home to toast a bagel. No rational reason for that rule, as far as I can tell. But in general they’ve done a good job of making things safer, when they’re not creating lots and lots of red tape.
