Hispanic Injuries in the Workplace

Why are Hispanic workers sustaining more injuries in the workplace? That interesting question was asked by The Construction Executive in a November 2005 article. The reason appears to be the difficulties in assimilating into the North American economy.....language issues, illiteracy concerns, cultural differences all play a part.

Hispanics are needed for our construction work force, period! It is our responsibility to afford them the protection they deserve!
