You can move it Green I just though the content may of been offensive/graphic!

Attitudes to safety standards tend to be a bit......relaxed....in some countries- compared to others.

A company I used to work for bought out a couple of Chinese explosives factories, and had the Chinese executives come down to Australia to see how stuff is done here.
The Chinese blokes were being shown our safety protocols, procedures and methods.
They cracked up laughing at what we have to do here- at the time (in China) you only had to report an industrial accident if more than 10 people were killed!
I dont know if its changed since then or not.
