Immigrant Construction Workers and Safety and Health in South Florida

This report is based on surveys conducted with four hundred construction workers on large construction sites in South Florida in 2006. The survey elicited information on the safety training received, personal protective safety equipment regularly used, and the safety policies and practices of the employers of these workers. It also collected a wide variety of demographic data and information on non-safety employer practices that were thought to be possibly related to safety conditions on the job.
