Hispanic worker deaths up 76% since 1992

The statistics prove the unfortunate truth: more hispanic workers die every year in construction accidents, truck and motor vehicle crashes and other work related incidents. (USA Today 7/19/09). There might be many reasons for these tragic deaths - language confusion, unskilled laborers and the like. All too often, though, the deaths can and should be avoided. Simple safety harneses can prevent falls from rooftops, and do not require a great deal of skill to understand. Care in erecting scaffolding can and should prevent collapses. Training and enforcement of safety rules can and should prevent machinery injuries. Trying to attribute the increase in deaths based on the increase in workers ignores the dangers hispanic workers face every day on the job. And ignores the safety rule violations that happen every day on jobsites around Texas and the USA.
