Safety standards for the big international comanies are enforced and reported from their mod yards. The biggest reason this is becoming so prevekant is schedule. Cost is definately a factor but to meet schedule outsourcing work is required.

I was talking about the final erection workers being brought in from China which I think is a crock.
I have to say though that I'm a member of an international construction union, so I'd rather see my fellow brothers from the States get the work if we can't handle it.
Concerning the modules, I'd still rather see the work done in North America. Our economies are interrelated and what's good for the USA is generally good for Canada. I don't see the same for China and I see the farming out of jobs to China as a bad habit which is going to bite us in the ass, as has happened in other sectors of the economy.
