临时工行业的工人面临着危险的工作条件，职业伤害的风险很高。该项目汇集了当地工人中心和大学调查人员，建立了一个职业健康促进者队伍，并测试了一种调查工具和招聘方法，以识别危害，提高受雇于临时人力资源公司的工人的认识。ohp采访了来自33家临时机构和49家客户公司的98名工人，主要从事航运和包装、制造和仓储行业。调查确定了工作场所的危害。ohp向OSHA报告了两家公司，导致多次引用。合作伙伴报告说，他们对临时工面临的职业安全和健康挑战有了更深入的了解，并继续参与培训、同伴教育和联盟建设。
Workers in the temporary staffing industry face hazardous working conditions and have a high risk of occupational injury. This project brought together local workers' centers and university investigators to build a corps of Occupational Health Promoters (OHPs) and to test a survey tool and recruitment methods to identify hazards and raise awareness among workers employed by temporary staffing companies. OHPs interviewed ninety-eight workers employed by thirty-three temporary agencies and forty-nine client companies, working mainly in shipping and packing, manufacturing, and warehousing sectors. Surveys identified workplace hazards. OHPs reported two companies to OSHA, resulting in several citations. Partners reported greater understanding of occupational safety and health challenges for temporary workers and continue to engage in training, peer education, and coalition building.
