Farmworkers perform much of the manual labor on farms today. Therefore, they are at high risk for muscle strain and traumatic injury. Language and cultural barriers, along with little formal education, often prevent farmworkers from understanding safety warnings and other information intended to protect them.
For years, NYCAMH has created culturally appropriate, multilingual safety materials based on input from the migrant and seasonal farmworkers who will use them. We make sure to keep these documents updated to best reach the Spanish-speaking audiences we serve. Thousands of copies of these materials have been printed and distributed to agricultural communities across the northeast.
Below are several examples of such materials.
