ASSE focuses on increasing number of Latino safety professionals
More Latinos in the occupational safety profession will mean fewer workplace injuries and fatalities among Latino workers.
That's the thinking of the American Society of Safety Engineers' (ASSE) Safety Professionals and the Latino workforce (SPALW) group, which recently established a professional education grant aimed at providing assistance for members in the safety, health and environment (SH&E) ccupation to further their education and career in an effort to help decrease the amount of workplace accidents among Latinos.
