More Hispanics die on the job than other U.S. workers, and the rate is highest among the foreign-born, according to a federal study released Thursday.
Construction industry work accounted for a third of the Hispanic deaths, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported after reviewing more than 11,000 Hispanic work-related deaths between 1992 and 2006. About 95 percent were men.
According to Dr. Sherry Baron, who studies health disparities for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the figures aren’t surprising.”*
