He was killed when he was pulled into a machine at the concrete crushing facility where he worked. This work-related death could have been prevented and would likely never have happened had the right safety procedures been followed. Low-wage workers like Tito often work in dangerous jobs and immigrants are more likely to die or get hurt at work. In spite of dangers on the job, all workers have the right to a safe and healthy workplace. This training for community health workers will equip you with the knowledge you need to empower people to advocate for their rights on the job. Additionally, participants will come to understand how to seek help in case of a dangerous work environment and to be familiar with resources to assist workers.
