Tuff job,  medical insurance required, few reach retirement age. I would rather look for land mines with a broomstick

Looks like the first words you need to learn are "holy *****" and "run away!"

Safety regs!  What safety regs?  Looks like a good country not to work or live in.
Yikes.

Looks like Russia.

It is mostly Russia and other eastern bloc countries. They are at least 50 years behind the US in terms of safety. I joke that OSHA (US Occupational Safety & Health Administration) as being "a small town in Wisconsin", but they have done a world of good in bringing safety standards up for workers across the nation in all trades. Mining in particular has had quite a bit more, with their own agency, the Mine Safety & Health Administration.

There are accidents, but the risk is greatly diminished from what you see there.
