I assume unions fighting for these regulations would play as a significant reason for the safety regulations in this case? I could be wrong but I don't believe these regulations came from concerns for the workers as much as the workers fighting for these rights even in the Radium Girls scenario.

The means wasn't really what I was aiming to point out. I was more communicating solely the motive for those regulations, whether fought for by workers or instated by bureaucracy.
