Safety and health alliance formed to protect Hispanic workers - New Jersey

“Reducing the number of Hispanic employees killed and injured in construction and general industry is the goal of a new alliance formed by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development and El Refugio, a Newton-based non-profit outreach center for Hispanic families.

Under the alliance, OSHA will work with El Refugio to develop workplace safety and health training programs to educate the organization’s clients about fall, amputation, electrical, “struck-by”/”crushed-in” hazards and emergency response issues.”
