ASSE's
Safety Professionals and the Latino Workforce (SPALW) common interest group, in partnership with
ASSE Foundation, has established a professional education grant to assist members in furthering their education and career, which in turn may help decrease workplace accidents among Latinos. SPALW hopes the grant will increase Latino representation in the occupational safety profession and decrease the number of fatal workplace injuries among the Latino population.
Starting in Spring 2013, the grant will be available every year to several individuals to help them develop their careers as safety professionals. SPALW is open to all ASSE members; if interested in joining it or another common interest group, visit
ASSE's website.
