Hispanic construction workers are at higher risk of fatal injury than their non-Hispanic counterparts. According the
Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR), Hispanic workers in the U.S. construction industry make up more than 20% of the workforce and approximately one-third of those workers only speak Spanish. To help address this issue, CPWR has released a number of resources for Spanish speakers. Resources include
hazard alert cards, three
short safety videos, a Spanish-language
Day Laborers' Health and Safety Workbook, an accompanying
trainer's guide and
much more.
