Are professional wrestlers protected by OSHA regulations ?

The wrestlers are being injured and maimed early in their careers due to unsafe moves or working while injured . Are they protected by a union or any organization ?

1. If you mean the WWE, then I would think so, yes.They get paid millions of dollars, they would have to have some kind of org. that protects them.
2. I think that most workers, especially in dangerous jobs, would be covered.
3. The entertainers are excluded from coverage for the most part, as are most of the behind the scenes guys as well. The entertainment lobby made sure they were exempted from OSHA and most regulatory agencies. The people who work for the arenas would be covered by OSHA, but not the entertainers or roadies.
