OSHA on Sept. 6 set up an alliance with the Mexican Consulate in Louisiana to promote safety and health for Mexican nationals working in the state's construction industry. The voluntary alliance provides workers with assistance and outreach materials in Spanish on workers' rights and OSHA standards. Safety and health issues that will be covered include falls from elevated work surfaces, electrocution, heat illness, exposure to hazardous chemicals, struck-by and caught-in or -between hazards, according to OSHA.
