As we can all see in the media -- safety is becoming an issue for Chinese products.

And it's not that I disagree because it IS outrageous. However, we all benefit from this type of activity by purchasing things from China. (And if you can't tell from my name, I'm Chinese.) The workers aren't at fault, they're just trying to make a living. It's the essential bottom-line that is to blame because that is ultimately why this would be done.

It's not like in developed countries where robotic arms are now being utilized to this kind of stuff. And workers here in the US complain about optimum working conditions. There's also one thing that is not evident in this video. How much do you those workers are making to switch those pressed metals? And if they make a mistake and there is an accident, no workmen's comp. or disability insurance.

OK OK but in all seriousness: this is pretty sad and scary, but it does go to show that some things are just fundamentally different from culture to culture. Something like this would never fly in the States. Don’t sneeze … and if you want to take out your competition, just tie their shoelaces together.

This type of press will not cycle lower than you see it going now so the real safety issue is getting hands in to the stamping die. In developed nations all workers would need to have both hands on palm buttons to cycle the press, this press appears to be cycling on a timed cycle. If a work mis-loads a part, they might reach in a lose a finger, hand or arm. If they don't reach in the part or die could shatter or spring out. Where I worked we completely guard any pinch point with fixed shields or shields that would move into place before allowing the press to cycle.
