Motor Vehicle Safety Training
for Spanish Speaking Workers – Train-The-Trainer Class
Salinas, CA
Each year, a significant number of Latino farm workers die as a result of
motor vehicle accidents. Accident investigations and surveys of immigrant
workers indicate a significant lack of understanding of US traffic
regulations and traffic signs combined with inexperience in driving are
major causes of
these incidents. This Train-the-Trainer class will prepare participants to
train farm workers on motor vehicle safety. Classes Presented in English and
Spanish
