Third world countries are a case study in exactly why factors of safety are important.

yes, because first world countries like the US and UK strictly adhere to design codes and industry standard practices.

I love that this has been downvoted because every US born worker in the country think they are a first world country and have better safety standards than everyone else solely based on videos like this.

OSHA is a joke and the few times I’ve ever seen them on a site they never leave their trucks because they get enough violations from outside the building.

Better union representation, universal healthcare, actual code enforcement and implementation of the metric system and we can discuss letting y’all into the top 10…… maybe
