“The original conversation was about violation of confined space entry, OSHA regulations and the the people involved were all Mexicans and how they do not follow regulations in this country because that’s how they do it in old Mexico.”

That doesn’t surprise me at all.

One summer in the ‘70s I worked in a wood shop that made stereo speakers. 90% or more of the crew were illegals from Mexico (that problem has been growing for a lot longer than people realize.).

The Mexicans routinely disabled the safety gear on the machinery. One of the large table saws ran on 440 volts. Some genius from south of the border had altered the power plug and it could be inserted wrong. Instead of sending power to the motor it would electrify the stand. I didn’t stick around to see who would be lucky enough to ground that thing.

You’ll be happy to know that the 21st century has ushered in duct tape.
