The video is a humorous and satirical exploration of the safety violations in the film "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". The host, MatPat, uses the film as a basis to highlight numerous Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) violations that would likely result from running a factory like Wonka's.
The video begins with a warning that the content is not safe for work. MatPat then proceeds to discuss the film, highlighting the various safety hazards present in Wonka's factory. These include low ceilings, lack of safety equipment, exposure to hazardous chemicals, and unsafe working conditions.
MatPat uses the film as a basis to calculate potential OSHA fines that Wonka's factory would face. He estimates that the fines could range from $1.86 million to $26.1 million in today's dollars, based on the 60 OSHA violations identified in the film.
The video concludes with MatPat suggesting that Wonka's decision to open his factory to children was not out of a desire to do good, but rather to avoid the financial consequences of the OSHA violations. MatPat also suggests that Wonka's factory is a metaphor for corporate irresponsibility and neglect of worker safety.
In the end, MatPat encourages viewers to join Dollar Shave Club, a company that offers affordable personal hygiene products, as a way to avoid the safety hazards highlighted in the film.
