Enhancing Safety and Rights for Hispanic Day Laborers: A Comprehensive Framework

This initiative focuses on improving the safety and rights of Hispanic day laborers through effective communication, training, and access to legal resources. It emphasizes the need for OSHA standards that protect vulnerable populations, particularly women and children, in high-risk industries like construction and agriculture. With a focus on traffic safety issues, worker education, and the ‘whistleblower’ mentality, this framework aims to empower workers to report injuries freely while addressing barriers such as language, legal services, and unsafe working conditions.
