What's different in occupational safety rules and regulations etc. now as opposed to say, 25 to 30 years ago.

I worked for a Fortune 500 Co. in the early 80's that relied mainly on Gov't contracts for development and manufacture of Avionics test equipment and such with an average Maintenance crew of 40 - 45 and never saw an OSHA person, Never attended any job-related safety training or trade related instruction. Yet, we did all the maintenance and added installation/construction (constant) for about 2 million sq. ft. of Office/Engineering/Machine Shop/Testing/Assembly and Warehousing space in 7 different buildings. What would be different nowadays?
