    Since the Reagan years OSHA and other regulatory agencies in the US
    have been on increasingly restricted budgets and greater political
    rather than scientific leadership which has resulted in less
    oversight and less regulation of all forms of industry. The jewelry
    industry is so small compared to other industries that there is very
    little industry specific research or regulation. So basing your
    safety program on the guidelines of OSHA alone is good enough to
    keep you out of regulatory trouble but not necessarily safe. Do the
    research.
