A reality check
An interesting quick response from the "western world": you are not going to change the other 98% of the world (give or take) that get on with things in their own way. I currently work in central Asia, in, on and around construction sites (not anything directly to do with me). On a daily basis steel is cut, bent, welded and generally buggered around with, including applying red lead paint. The average salary is somewhere around $2US per hour I am informed, and people are queuing up to be hired. Most of the work force wear flip-flops and they work 12-14 hour days for that money - locations where cutting and welding are going on are best avoided - every man for themselves. Most folk work for central Asian sub-contractors employed by Turkish "front" firms which have no visible assets or company directors.
C'est La Vie.
