In all my visits to Mexico for work/mission trips, I have never seen anyone injured on the worksite. That in itself is pretty amazing because OSHA does not exist here and travelers are routinely surprised by the perilous position that some native workers take to accomplish a task.
That all changed last week when Pablo’s brother Pasqual was struck by a piece of wood thrown off by the blade of a table saw he was using to “rip” board. The wood scrap flew off the saw blade and hit him just below his lip, creating a nice diagonal gash from lip to chin and fair amount of blood.
We were able to close the womb using steri-strips and gauze and get him to the local clinic for stitches. He refused to leave the worksite for the rest of the day and was back the next morning working as if nothing had happened.
