Tomorrow night, Telemundo's hit telenovela "Pecados Ajenos" will spotlight construction worker safety. The Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR) worked with the show's writers and producers to help develop a storyline that has real life impact on the Latino community.
CPWR's latest edition of the Construction Chart Book (available online beginning tomorrow, see more information below) reports Hispanic construction workers are killed on the job more frequently than non-Hispanic workers and when injured, they receive far less in workers' compensation.
The show's safety theme is timely, just weeks before Workers Memorial Day, an annual commemoration that honors those killed and injured on the job (click here for Workers Memorial Day materials and more information).
