I can’t believe how they’re using their bare hands when moving the stack of gold foil in that jackhammer press. Does Japan not have an equivalent to OSHA? Or does that not apply to small businesses like the one in the video?
For comparison, my workplace has a similar machine, but you need to press two buttons with both hands to start it and there’s a screen of lasers between the user and the press that shuts the machine down if the lasers are blocked.
