This report recognizes many immigrant workers "toil in high-risk occupations, work in the unregulated 'informal' economy and often fear reporting workplace injuries. Many are not aware of their legal rights to safety and health on the job and to workers' compensation if they are injured. The report examines several successful outreach attempts by unions and community groups to educate immigrant workers on worksite hazards and about their legal rights on the job. It looks at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA's) actions and areas in which OSHA can improve their efforts.
