   Contributors

   Evaluation Period

2. Implementation Team Meetings

   On April 27, 2012, a meeting was held at the consulate in Douglas with the Area Director and representatives from each consulate to discuss training and outreach opportunities. The Labor Rights' Week events were planned thorough several communications and informal discussions in July and August, 2012. On October 22, 2012 a meeting was held in Phoenix to discuss a Spanish-speaking 8-hour training to be hosted by the consulate. This training has not been confirmed.

3. Events and Products

   Training and Education

   OSHA training on workplace rights, complaint filing and employer responsibilities was offered during the Labor Rights’ Week and during other outreach events throughout 2012. All training was conducted at the consulates. Training materials, including worker rights booklets and heat illness pamphlets, were provided to educate workers. Additional educational materials were later sent to the five consulates.

   Outreach and Communication

   On April 27, 2012 the Area Director gave a presentation for ten individuals on workplace rights and employer responsibilities in Phoenix. The presentation was given following an implementation meeting.

   On August 29, 2012, the Area Director gave a presentation and hosted an information booth for Labor Rights’ Week at the consulate in Nogales for 150 individuals. The topic of the presentation was workplace rights and employer responsibilities. Pamphlets and heat stress posters were provided along with handouts regarding fall hazards.

   On August 30, 2012, the Area Director participated in a panel of Department of Labor and other speakers during the Labor Rights’ Week in Phoenix. Following the presentation, the Area Director met with workers to further discuss their individual concerns. The Area Director also hosted an information booth where as many as 400 individuals attended, and one worker filed a safety complaint.

   Promoting the National Dialogue on Workplace Safety and Health

   On October 12, 2012, the Area Director attended the opening of the new consulate building in Phoenix. There were approximately 150 participants at the event. He discussed opportunities for Federal OSHA to provide safety and health materials and assistance, with a primary emphasis on farmworker safety and health, at upcoming mobile consulate events in rural areas of Arizona. As a result, materials were provided to the consulates for distribution at the mobile consulates.

4. Results

   The Alliance focused on training and outreach opportunities between the Alliance members. This Alliance has enabled OSHA to connect with hard-to-reach workers who have the potential to be exploited and exposed to serious workplace hazards. The relationship fostered by this Alliance has benefitted the efforts of OSHA and the Mexican Consulate in promoting worker safety and health.

   On August 28, 2013, Federal OSHA participated in a live call-in program at the UNIVSION flagship station in San Francisco. The Univision program coordinated by the Mexican Consulate in San Francisco attracted over 80 callers to the station and reached thousands of viewers in the San Francisco Bay area.

   On August 29, 2013, Federal OSHA hosted an information booth at the Mexican Consulate in Santa Ana, CA. A presentation was conducted, provided Informational materials in Spanish regarding Safety and health, heat stress, fall protection and worker rights to the attendees. The OSHA representative met with workers to further discuss their individual concerns.

   On August 30, 2013, as part of the San Francisco Labor Rights week program, Federal OSHA participated in a panel of Federal and State government presenters. The OSHA representative provided three separate presentations throughout the day on worker rights, fall protection, heat illness prevention, and employer responsibilities. Following the presentations, the Manager met with workers to further discuss their individual concerns and hosted an information booth where as many as 200 individuals participated.

   Promoting the National Dialogue on Workplace Safety and Health

   Formal and informal meetings were held throughout the year to plan outreach activities, Labor Rights' Week programs, and media events. On April 30, 2013, educational programs were planned with the San Francisco Mexican Consulate including an educational workshop for their staff to cover worker protection regulations including contact information for OSHA and other Federal Agencies. On June 21, 2013, Labor Rights planning meetings were also held with the San Francisco Mexican consulate staff to plan media and other outreach events, including educational programs with Day Laborers and the immigrant community through their Mobile Consulate program. The OSHA representative also shared OSHA's collaboration with community groups including faith-based organizations, Unions, and special interest groups to help reach and serve a wider range of vulnerable and hard to reach workers in California. Information was provided on OSHA's Latino worker initiatives including fall protection, heat stress prevention and hazards associated with construction, agriculture, and temporary work. The group also discussed future educational and training programs for Mexican nationals working in Hawaii through the Hawaii Mexican Mobile Consulate administered by the San Francisco Mexican Consulate.

   As a result of these meetings, future innovative outreach programs for Day Laborers and agricultural workers were planned and information and materials were provided for distribution at the Consulates, mobile Consulates, health fairs and other outreach events throughout California.

4. Results

   The Alliance between Federal OSHA, Cal/OSHA and the Mexican Consulates in California focused on training, education, and the development of outreach opportunities and programs between the Alliance members. This Alliance has enabled Federal OSHA to work collaboratively with its partners and connect with hard-to-reach and vulnerable workers who have the potential to be exploited and exposed to serious workplace hazards. The relationship fostered by this Alliance has benefitted the outreach efforts of Federal OSHA, Cal/OSHA and the Mexican Consulates in promoting worker safety and health to thousands of workers in California.

5. Upcoming Milestones

   As part of the Alliance, OSHA Region IX intends to continue working with the California Mexican Consulates to identify and reach out to new vulnerable workers in high-hazard industries with an emphasis on warehouse, home care, temporary workers, and day laborers. Collaborative efforts with Cal/OSHA and the Mexican Consulates will continue in the agriculture and construction industries and will focus on heat stress and fall hazards.

   OSHA Region IX will continue collaborating with the Mexican Consulates on training and educational programs during outreach and community events including Labor Rights' Week and Worker Memorial Day. The Region also plans on working with the San Francisco Mexican Consulate to develop educational workshops for their staff that cover worker protection regulations including contact information for OSHA and other Federal Agencies. This program will help the San Francisco Mexican Consulate staff provide occupational safety and health, and worker protection information and materials to Spanish speaking workers in California.
