I wonder if China has anything like OSHA...
Though OSHA is an overbearing, over regulating federal agency, they do a pretty good job of holding companies to good safety policies...
As if their insurers wouldn't do it if OSHA wasn't there.
No, they do not. When I was in China in 1991 I saw a continuous flow of insane safety violations that you wouldn't think intelligent people would come even close to doing. China is a "hold my beer alert" place even when they are sober.
I saw a guy on top of a straight forty foot ladder putting in light bulbs with the ladder being supported by six guys. They would just carry the ladder, man still at the top, between light fixtures. They would extend a ladder from the top landing of a stair case with a guy sitting on the free end, and just pile enough guys on the other end of the ladder to keep the worker in place. There are so many stories...

I have to politely disagree. They don’t do anything but collect fines. They don’t care one wit about safety. In fact, they love the unsafe companies, because they know they will get paid every couple of years.
Don’t believe me, Google VT Halter Marine in Pascagoula,Ms. They get fined all the time for people being injured and killed and even the fines they pay are ridiculous. The company pays the fine and they go right back to doing unsafe crap.
OSHA is s joke.
