Hispanic and Latino farmworkers are at risk for negative occupational health and safety outcomes due to issues such as their extreme work conditions, their reliance on employer beneficence, and cultural barriers. The purpose of this article is to explain the unique characteristics of heat-related illness in the Hispanic agricultural work force and to provide an overview of the problems of poor hydration and heat exposure in this population. Culturally appropriate preventive strategies are discussed because industrial-type solutions may not work in a crop production environment where language and beliefs may interfere with adaptation.
由于极端的工作条件、对雇主慈善行为的依赖以及文化障碍等问题，西班牙裔和拉丁裔农场工人面临负面职业健康与安全后果的风险。本文旨在解释西班牙裔农业劳动力中与热相关疾病的独特特征，并概述该人群中水分摄入不足和热暴露问题。文中讨论了符合文化背景的预防策略，因为工业类型的解决方案在语言和信仰可能会干扰适应过程的作物生产环境中可能行不通。
