Actually, in Libertaria, an employer who deceives an employee
concerning such matters (e.g., lies to the employee about the 
dangers of toxic exposure on the job) in a situation such as the one
you describe would probably get the death penalty.  Seems to me
that the employer has a considerably larger incentive than the
bureaucrats then to make sure such dangers do not exist on the
job.
