i came from a small country..
we had several factory for machine tools..
a couple of safety thing..
lights on machines only 24V.. cables, only inside steel pipe, or flexible steel shield
machinelight, and coolant or grinding attachment has own fuse INSIDE the machine
machine could be attached to power steel pipe in the concrete floor, and on th ewall a special oilfilled switch, what actually a switch and fuse in one..
so just because something made outside of us, not means would be dangerous for operators..
inspection..
when new company established or old company moved, at time all official came..
city engineer, firefighter, and safety..
they checked machines from wall, walkways sure sufficient wide, and many other thing.. they didn't checked the machines.. factories could not sell machines that not refer codes..
electricians had to have certification, so a signature from a company was sufficient..
