I am always amazed during my travels to Mexico when I witness these daring acts....


The gentlemen I photographed didn't appear concerned for their safety - I certainly was....


What is the old saying " Its like a bad accident it hurts to look but you just can't turn away"

1. Overexertion - This is the number one type of workplace injury in the past few years. The common causes of overexertion are pulling, lifting, pushing, holding, carrying, and throwing activities at work.

2. Fall on Same Level - This type of workplace injury refers to those falls without elevation or falls on same level surfaces.


3. Fall to Lower Level - This type of fall happens from an elevated area such as roofs, ladders, and stairways.



4. Bodily Reaction ” These are injuries caused by slipping and tripping without falling.

5. Struck by an Object - Falling objects or debris from an elevated surface may seriously hit a person right below it. 

6. Struck against Object ” This injury is caused by running into doors, tables, chairs, walls, and other concrete objects.

7. Highway Incident - This injury refers to automobile accidents that may happen to an employee who is on an official business trip.

8. Caught in/ compressed by - Handling large and sharp machinery is terribly dangerous especially without proper knowledge and precautions used. Workers may also be exposed to extreme temperature which can also cause this type of injury.

9. " Repetitive Motion ” A good example is typing on a computer in regular offices. Due to prolonged repetitive motion, muscles and tendons are susceptible to carpal tunnel syndrome, back injuries, and vision problems.

10. Assaults and violent acts - This may not be a frequent occurrence but is nonetheless causing injuries among employees who engage in physical attack against each other.

XVI

I love the handful of the earth you are.  Because of its meadows, vast as a planet, I have no other star. You are my replica of the multiplying universe.

Your wide eyes are the only light I know from extinguished constellations; your skin throbs like the streak of a meteor through rain.

Your hips were that much of the moon for me; your deep mouth and its delights, that much sun; your heart, fiery with its long red rays, was that much ardent light, like honey in the shade.
So I pass across your burning form, kissing
you - compact and planetary, my dove, my globe.
