Furthermore, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2020 there were a total of 240,160 injuries and illnesses related to falls in the workplace, representing a rate of 0.8 cases per 100 full-time workers.
For Latino workers in particular, the lack of workplace safety training, the lack of personal protective equipment, and the language barrier can increase the risk of slip and fall injuries in the workplace. It is important that employers take measures to protect all workers, including Latino workers, and provide a safe and healthy work environment for all. Remember that if a worker suffers an injury from a slip or fall in the workplace, they may be eligible to receive compensation for their injuries and medical expenses through workers' compensation insurance.
