[SML] Teaching technical theater and OSHA

[Mike Katz]

Another Point on this thread,  OSHA  is looking at student shops as well,
After the death of a student a few years ago in a Yale  machine shop, Osha
started an investigation even though it was a student and not an employee.
IIRC the said that the shop was also used by employees and therefore they
had jurisdiction.
