A free guide to immigrant worker safety and health
With generous support from Concentra and Broadspire, I authored Work Safe: An Employer’s Guide to Safety and Health in a Diversified Workforce. This first of its kind guide is a very accessible source of practical advice on special techniques in worker safety training, medical treatment issues, hiring and using interpreters and other topics. It includes an extensive guide to free online resources on occupational safety organized by key occupations of foreign-born workers.
The Guide includes simple, brief introductions to workers compensation and to work safety regulation in the U.S., in English and Spanish. They can be translated into other languages.
The Guide grants the reader wide discretion on copying and using portions of the guide.
