Because stupid thing called work safety was invented. I had a chance to look at the machines used at Chinese factories. Wow, you couldn’t put them anywhere in US or Europe. Manufacturing is risky, experiments making it safer end up being it less efficient. The question is simple: better +3% more output from worker and 20% chance to loose a limb or -5% less output from worker with totally safe gear.
- simbolit 3y agoI suspect you are being ironic, but it doesn't come across in your writing. You sound like a run-off-the-mill Laisser-faire market fanatic, un-ironically.
- lnsru 3y agoI am sad. I am forced to work with a safety knife. It’s absolutely not ergonomic. Paper cutter is completely forbidden. Then safety shoes and coat. Just to sit in different environment at the computer in production area. I see this thing as a bit overstretched. People are trying to hide accidents because then the whole department will have weekly safety meetings after some minor thing like dropping a monitor on your foot. Afterwards we got carts to transport lab equipment and computers between tables. I am in Germany and this is shocking.

- Phiwise_ 3y agoI'd love to know particularly what 2011 worker safety initiatives you'd point to that ended the infamous american worker limb amputation crisis of the late 1990s, and also if you have any insight into why Britain and the EU haven't done the same for their own poor workers, who are still rolling a d5 on major disfigurement sometime in their working life to this day to maintain their own productivity growth.
- pjmlp 3y agoI guess I know what the capitalist answer dealing with employees as disposable work force would be.
