Construction Safety Management

Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer looks at Florida, that has a high concentration of migrant labor in all industries involving manual labor. The writer notes that this concentration of migrant, or otherwise largely Hispanic, workforce is readily apparent in the construction industry where large numbers of Hispanic workers are regularly employed. The writer looks at the problems faced by the U.S. in order to ensure the safety and care of such employees. Further the writer discusses related U.S. welfare and social policies, in comparison to Canada.

From the Paper:

The United States has long resisted using government programs to reduce inequalities to the degree that Canada has, and the result is predictable in that the problems in the U.S. are much greater. At the same time, Canada has been reconsidering some aspects of its social policies. The assumption made by this statement is common, that capitalism does not cover certain types of social program, certain types of human needs, while the welfare state does cover these elements. Between Canada and the United States, this has been illustrated most starkly over the past couple of decades by the difference in terms of health care. Canada offers a comprehensive and centralized health care system, a so-called single payer system, while the United States does not and has been embroiled in controversy for years as a result.
