Laborers, supervisors and even construction company chief executive officers will have a chance to learn about construction-site safety during two free events next month.Free safety training workshops will be Aug. 8-9 at the Center for Workforce Preparedness building, 1359 Lomaland. The first day will be in English, and the second will be in Spanish.The event will provide training on the Big Four construction hazards - falls, electrocution, getting caught between objects and struck by objects - said Javier Arias, state chairman of the Hispanic Contractors Association De Tejas, the main organizer of the event.Arias, a Dallas resident and owner of Masonry & Stucco Services, said that 38 percent of construction industry deaths in Texas involve Hispanics."Unfortunately, it's Hispanics getting killed in construction accidents," Arias said. "This comes from lack of training, lack of communication and lack of information in the proper language."
