Critical summaryReference entry Introduction In this article from The Conversation, De La Garza et al. (2023) discuss some of the issues surrounding keeping workers safe in risky industries. The article was written by three researchers from top-tier universities in the USA, and is based on investigations from a major research project, Latent Effects of Safety Intervention (2020).

The purpose of the text is to raise awareness to the potential heightened risks caused when workers do use safety equipment. This article offers insight into their significant project and also provides industry expertise on this highly important issue. It will be valuable in preparing to write a report on solutions around site/worker safety in the construction industry in Australia.
