I'd rephrase, in my opinion the market / current system are solving the problem in the best way we've found so far. What do you see as the problems of the current system that could be improved upon? OHSA I'll give you (but probably because large corporations also have an incentive to avoid lawsuits, and having and following OHSA rules helps that), but the EPA has certainly been a political football in terms of both enforcement (via administration) and science (via funding, see budget cuts to climate science proposed). Not sure which CPA you're referring to (guessing the state consumer protection agencies?), but the federal CFPA has had to put up with astroturfing like this [1] from the unethical businesses they've been focused on. I'm not a cynic or a misanthrope, but I do believe that standards developed with the expectation of bad actions from as many parties as possible are more robust than those which assume good. If nobody misbehaves, maybe they can take a more efficient happy path, but it's important to take the pathological case into account too. Especially when money's involved!
