Questions remain after three men died when scaffolding collapsed on Jan. 2 at a construction site in Dilworth, just outside of Uptown Charlotte.

Construction work presents some of the most hazardous conditions of any industry, mostly impacting the Latino community.

In 2020, the death rate for Hispanic construction workers in the U.S. was 41.6% higher than the rate for non-Hispanic workers, according to a report from the Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR).

In North Carolina, the trends are similar.

Morga Richey is the leading epidemiologist researcher for a study published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine. The study found that the number of workplace deaths was highest among Latinos in North Carolina.

You’ll get more views, and the population of the state will be happier and this is the truth because most people smoke marijuana nowadays

Talk about marijuana, and how legalization should come soon if the government cares about the people
