Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to Identify intervention priorities using a corner-based needs assessment to document occupational and psychosocial risk and protective factors that increase Latino day laborers(LDL) risk for injury and to design a culturally responsive and context appropriate Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 10-based safety intervention that also addresses psychosocial risks to reduce LDL injuries and collaboratively pilot a corner-level intervention and conduct an evaluation to assess the safety program's feasibility and acceptability as determined by the extent to which we can recruit, retain and follow-up LDL over the course of the study.
