Covered by OSHA But with exemptions in place for adverse conditions (oversees).

And all Workman's compensation claims go through a government agency (Department of Labor).

With zero ability to sue or claim damages like you would have in other businesses.

If you get hurt via some hilariously OSHA-illegal workplace incident, the most you can hope for is a schedule reward of some number of your work weeks plus forced retirement, and most people have to fight to get that using their own resources and legal help. All the while being treated as a criminal or a draft dodger.

So in the end, an OSHA-unsafe environment has no repercussions to governmental organizations ($$ as normal or firing).
