You are, I think, correct in that the libertarian party assumes by nature that everyone can take care of themselves. Even in the US we may have raised the bar, but we still have a pesant class mentality out there, and they would indeed suffer more. My solution would be an education system designed to break this mentality but thats for another thread where we can all talk of our pet theories which no one will adopt.
That being said, more specificly, OSHA is one of those things which is good on paper, and not bad for all, but most definately bad for some. Being that I work with it every day, some of the hoops, expensive hoops passed on to the consumer, are very annoying and totally pointless in terms of safety.
