There must be a reason I have never seen a sign in a scrap yard announcing how many days in a row without an accident. From personal experience, OSHA would just shake there head at the customers I have observed in scrap yards. Employee's know the consequences and minimize the risks. Many customers lack the experience to know what could go wrong and will walk right into an accident. I trust most employees, but will not turn my back on a customer. This comes from someone who is their own worst enemy when it comes to accidents.
