Shenzhen Fast - on Safety Pencils (continued) (Patreon)

The 'cardboard mask' welder wasn't even the only person we saw welding things so dangerously while we were in China. It was really apparent how directly related customer requirements and facility safety standards were... and to a secondary degree, safety standards and the price of goods being offered. 

It's not necessarily true that an expensive product will have been made in a facility that treats its workers better, but price savings have to come from somewhere and that's something that I think about often.
