Event Details:

In the construction field Latinos are at a higher risk for safety accidents. There are three prominent barriers, 1) training difficulties, 2) language differences, and 3) the lack of understanding the Hispanic culture. In this lunch & learn you will gain insight into how to provide a safer and more welcoming environment for Hispanic employees. This includes strategies to put into practice to improve safety and communication. Whether an employee is temporary or permanent the success of a construction company weighs heavily upon protecting all from workplace hazards. This online seminar is essential for non-Hispanic trainers and supervisors of Hispanic workers, including crew leaders, project managers, superintendents, HR managers and senior staff.
