The argument has never held up in any legislature ( to the best of my knowledge ).
As representative governments have evolved over time, the representatives of the people have increasingly demanded safer working conditions for their constituents since the begining of the industrial revolution. This is just another chapter in that history, really.

You should see the movie "I, Robot". It shows the end result of the safety argument.
And, before you go violating the rights of people, you have to show what right you have to do so.
Simply saying "this is good, let's make it a law and force everybody to comply with our morality" isn't going to cut it.
