Excellent video, Winston !! I remember during the ADV days when you guys would be out and come across the busted up trucks on the side of the road, remnants of recent accidents, or some from days or weeks prior. The roads were literally, littered with the carnage. The combination of bad roads and/or overuse or bad construction of the trucks themselves! You both were lucky to make it off those roads alive !!!

to a point. I know in the UK fatalities at work have generally flatlined for the past 10+ years and yet more and more safety regs keep getting added. Reaches a point of diminishing returns where you're just adding hoops to jump through and increased cost. There has to be a happy medium as some jobs just have an element of risk baked in....

A former colleague told me her Dad worked in chemicals and due to a new business deal with a Chinese company he went over to check out the new premises. When he was visiting the premises a woman who worked there (who for the record, had a degree in chemistry and was performing a highly skilled job) got a really nasty chemical burn over her neck and chest (no safety clothes were worn.) He learnt later that the company sacked the woman for embarrassing them during this visit. That story was told in passing to me over a decade ago and I still remember it vividly, such casual indifference to human suffering.

That's what happens when your country's population is over 1.4 BILLION - life absolutely has no value whatsoever. One city alone in China has just under half the total population of the entirety of the UK. That's actually insane to think about. Anything happens to you, who cares? You can be replaced by 500-1,000 other people even before you've hit the ground from a 10 storey fall.

My eight-story school-provided apartment in China had a huge crack across the floor and the ceiling. The building was only five years old! I noticed that the new construction in the commercial part of town began to show major cracks across the fronts of the building in less than six months! In one school, one wing of a class building had a three-story window wall at the end. One problem: the window wall was six feet too narrow, so the window wall didn't seal the building, so in the winter, the wind blew through the voids and chilled the building even more. It was a brand new university campus, but there was NO HEAT anywhere in the building or anywhere in campus. To stay warm in the winter, students brought large blankets which they shared with each other.

It's not exactly a fair comparison, as Roman aqueducts cost infinitely more and were built to last more or less indefinitely. Modern engineering in comparison is driven by economics and therefore almost everything is built to be as cheap as possible while meeting the requirements. It's good in the sense that we can build more, but everything is kinda crappy 😔 China just takes it to the extreme.

I think Winston pointed out in previous videos of his that a lot of the Chinese mainland populace have a negative can't-be-helped attitude in regards to safety, that they tend to think that if a tragedy happens, that it was meant to happen. They can see it as fate so they may have the underlying thought of, "If all accidents can't be prevented, why do anything at all?". It's honestly black and white thinking and it's this kind of superstitious attitude that harms and kills more people than necessary.

Around 10 years ago, a customer bought 3 self erecting tower cranes from China. As they were the first ones in our state, the boss, a PE with years of crane experience went to look them over. When he got back to the office, he sent out a letter to all our customers that used tower cranes saying that the company declines to inspect, load test or certify any of these units due to very poor construction. The state red tagged all of them a couple months later after one blew up. If you buy chinese, you are getting just what you paid for, junk.

Now I am very comfy with working on live power, I respect electricity but it doesn´t scare me. That would be my advise: respect the power but when it scares You it becomes even more dangerous. You can do it, just keep calm. When You´re focused and respectful but not scared You can become a great copperhead.

PPE is important in any job requiring it, especially electrical. We should be more thankful in America we've got OSHA & other laws on the books requiring basic safety at work. This video is a prime example of how bad it could be without any oversight. I was a supervisor at an automotive parts manufacturer & since we had CNC & other machines running constantly cutting/shaving metal safety glasses were a must. One of my setup techs didn't put his on while changing one of the lines over from one part to another & got a metal "splinter" in his eye. He didn't tell me the day it happened but came to me the next day at the start of our shift. His left eye was extremely red, swollen & had a little green puss... obviously I took him to the hospital immediately. He ended up having to have optical surgery a day later to get it out so he wouldn't lose his eye, when he might've been ok if he'd used an eyewash station immediately & tried flushing it out. He ended up wearing an eyepatch for about 2 months afterwards bcuz the surgery gave him light sensitivity. A young woman died a few weeks ago at the factory where my mother works in the office. The girl bypassed a safety sensor to fix the positioning of cardboard on the floor around a robot to catch oil that leaked & her assistant didn't know she'd gone inside the fence around the robot & turned the machine back to auto. I could tell some very nasty stories about people not wearing steel toe shoes when it was required too... anyways, always wear your PPE it's for your safety. That way you'll always go home with everything you came to work with like your life & limbs

I have a client in Vancouver BC from China. I along with other trades built this massive 25000 sq ft house for him up on the side of the mountain. He always had trouble understanding why things were taking so long, why there were so many inspections and how come corners weren't being cut. He ended up with an amazing house and we became friends. I play golf with him occasionally and I have asked him about everything in China over the years, especially the quality of construction and workplace safety. Even he thinks all the stuff going on over there is ridiculous.

Maintenance on it done regularly easily so there is little to no surprises that will effect hundreds or thousands of people using the service for decades.

When I was living there in the mid 90s, I saw this construction worker fall to his death. My girlfriend and I ran over to the building where he fell to his death. A foreman told the other workers to hurry and clean up the "mess" and told us to leave the area. My girlfriend sadly said this occurs daily. I was shocked to see other workers just casually cleaning up the body without any type of investigation or respect to the dead body.

There is no way to do that in a legitimate way, not to mention the lie that it could be occupied within 6 months and be viable. Building codes exist for a reason and they clearly either don't exist in China or are completely ignored. A trillion dollars worth of construction in the past 12 years isn't viable in China.. as in these buildings will not be habitable in 10 years. False progress and lies.

Watching this gives gives me a renewed attitude and appreciation for California's permiting process for construction related builds. I used to think that the prolonged waiting period was solely bureaucratic red tape. But now I believe that safety and conformity to standards that make it safe for the citizen like myself plays a big part in the delay. As an example, the simple procedure of retrofitting my house with brace and bolt for earthquakes, completed last week, started with a requirement for choosing a qualified company trained in the procedure. It ended with the contractor meeting with the government inspector to confirm the job was completed according to standards. Your video gives me a fresh outlook and appreciation for where I live, and for that, thank you Serpentza.

No. Hi, I'm a General Contractor in California. California's Codes are for One Purpose....Kickbacks. Here's the Scam. Contractors will become Inspectors. They get friendly with the City/County. Then they go and "Inspect" work. If you as the Contractor are not present and allow them to interact with your Customer Alone, everything becomes an Issue and they know someone that can be brought in to fix it all for cheaper. I've caught them in the act multiple times and even set up a Sting with a Client because the guy made the mistake of trying to burn me with a LONGTIME Client that recommends me to all of his Friends/Family/Training Clients. My Client was immediately wary because he knows my work and knows my process. It was a Block Wall rebuild The Inspector claimed I didn't use Rebar or Concrete inside the Cinder blocks. Funny thing is, the entire reason I had to tear it down and rebuild it is because it was falling because the original homeowner built it himself 10 years prior with no Rebar or Concrete. He saw my 10 foot rebar get hammered in and set in the new Footing I poured. He saw the empty bags of Concrete and that ever single Cinder block was Stacked and filled with Concrete. That's not the first one to try it, it won't be the last. Don't even get me started on the time the County approved our plans for a Wrap Around Deck on a House then after we built it told us that our design actually wasn't up to Code but we could pay to have an "exemption" for it.

It is not just driving. People should really respect the forces/energy involved. In that case some car driver simply did not respect the clearly labeled dangerous road haul. But like danger around tankers are a constant. Even on foot you should avoid being near it. And intervene if you spot someone tampering with it. Even a petrol thief can cause ENRORUMS amount of damage if a cubic meter or more is released onto the ground. Even small amounts can ruin ground water or literally anything. Even MILK can have devastating consequences if it starts to leak into earth or anywhere. Imagine a hole big tanker of MILK getting lose into a city street? The smell alone is a long lasting thing. It is always funny how oversized cargo (like barely big enough to need a support car) or military transport with drawn guns are a thing. And people respecting it. But a tanker? More often then not a tanker would need armed convoy to get even the worst drivers to back off from doing something stupid around a lethal transport if stuff go sideways. (quite literally)

The Chinese workers, mostly from Guǎngzhōu, who built the Union Pacific Railroad through the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California during the 1860s exhibited this same fearless dedication to accomplishing tasks. It was not taken for granted then nor is it forgotten today. Thanks.

I'm a foreigner living in China. They live in China? Have you ever been to China? Open your mouth and come! China is so large so much terrain there are many geographical natural disasters this is inevitable, please continue your disgusting video, continue to smear, China has been said to collapse by Western media for 30 years, but they are getting better and better, they have their own space station, 5G, Beidou GPS, the most advanced transportation system... TikTok is also where people in China get more truth from this vlogger is an ignorant political clown

I used to live on the 54th floor of a 60 floors building in Guangzhou and since it was a brand new building and I was the first tenant, the landlady had airconditioning installed in the bedroom and the living room (also so that she could charge me more for rent of course), two guys came an hour later with two split units, first they installed the indoor unit and ran the pipes to the outside through the hole, then they took the lift to the rooftop (which of course was open, this being China) with the outdoor unit, a few minutes later we saw one of the guy come down tied to a rope together with the outdoor unit, that looked incredibly perilous since these things are at least 50kg, he had to push the unit into the alcove built inside the external wall of the building and then screw it to the railing all while in mid-air, these guys are fearless, the most insane daredevils you'll on the internet scaling buildings are nothing in comparison.

This is typical in South Korea as well. A former colleague used to travel to Samsung factories, and he said almost all of them were literally deathtraps. Places where you could fall 30 feet to your death, chlorine gas leaks, no safety practices, etc. He was kept on his toes every time he visited.

The fabs there are infamous for causing cancer in the factory workers. Samsung swept it under the rug. Having lived in Korea I would describe things in general there as inspired by Japan, but built with Chinese standards. There's often no U traps in the plumbing so all the drains would stink of sewage.

It wasn’t to long ago that we did things like this right her in the USA. It’s still very common with subcontractors using illegal aliens who are now called migrants. Major companies keep costs down and insulate their records of death and injuries since they don’t go in to there accident free work hours since dead contractors don’t count, they are not their employees.

I remember years ago I was working at this factory and some girl slashed her arm in half with the buzz saw. Yet the next day, the 'days since last accident' went up as usual. One day I asked a manager about this, and he said 'oh she dosnt count as she is an agency worker' - all new starters there are hired by an agency for the first year before getting taken on, to make it easier to fire them and to reduce H+S costs, as newer people are more likely to have accidents like almost losing thier arm to a buzz saw.....
