76% Increase in Hispanic Worker Deaths
USA TODAY article titled “Hispanic Worker Deaths up 76% since 1992” discusses a serious and current issue among the workforce in several industries. The following is a summary of the content…
The 2007 tally from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded 990 Hispanic deaths in 2006. In Texas, 50 Hispanic workplace deaths were investigated by OSHA officials last year.
Workers who cannot provide legal documentation to work in the U.S. are more averse to joining a union, which helps protect workers from such negligence on the job.
The underlying issue behind these fatalities is the lack of proper training and the language barrier. VPP is designed to promote awareness and keep the workplace safe, but we cannot hold a blind eye to any slightest possible cause of injury or even death.
VPPStore is stepping up and is able to provide all of its awareness products to be translated into any language. The language barrier is no joking matter especially when safety is held to the highest standard. Being able to provide VPP banners, posters, and other awareness products in another language, we hope to help you reach out and gain the awareness of the multicultural workforce. A great product to have translated around your facility would be the “Elements and Sub-Elements of VPP” banners, posters, and badges.
Click Here to view all of our VPP products and please call 800-868-7018 to talk with a VPPStore customer care team member about getting your VPP products translated. We want to help you cross the language barrier.
