NIOSH Plans Questionnaire On Latino Worker Safety

NIOSH seeks comments on a planned questionnaire to assess differences in approaches to and perspectives of workplace safety between American-born and Latino immigrant workers. The failure of current occupational safety and health training approaches with Latino immigrants is highlighted by Bureau of Labor Statistics data indicating that significant occupational health disparities exist, the agency said. The questionnaire will be administered to a sample of about 600 workers in a broad range of industries, NIOSH said.
