Industrialized dairy production in the U.S. relies on an immigrant, primarily Latino/a, workforce to meet greater production demands. Given the high rates of injuries and illnesses on U.S. dairies, there is pressing need to develop culturally appropriate training to promote safe practices among immigrant, Latino/a dairy workers. To date, there have been few published research articles or guidelines specific to developing effective occupational safety and health (OSH) training for immigrant, Latino/a workers in the dairy industry. Literature relevant to safety training for immigrant workers in agriculture and other high-risk industries (e.g., construction) was examined to identify promising approaches. The aim of this paper is to provide a practical guide for researchers and practitioners involved in the design and implementation of effective OSH training programs for immigrant, Latino/a workers in the dairy industry. The search was restricted to peer-reviewed academic journals and guidelines published between 1980 and 2015 by universities or extension programs, written in English, and related to health and safety training among immigrant, Latino/a workers within agriculture and other high-risk industries. Relevant recommendations regarding effective training transfer were also included from literature in the field of industrial-organizational psychology. A total of 97 articles were identified, of which 65 met the inclusion criteria and made a unique and significant contribution. The review revealed a number of promising strategies for how to effectively tailor health and safety training for immigrant, Latino/a workers in the dairy industry grouped under five main themes: (1) understanding and involving workers; (2) training content and materials; (3) training methods; (4) maximizing worker engagement; and (5) program evaluation. The identification of best practices in the design and implementation of training programs for immigrant, Latino/a workers within agriculture and other high-risk industries can inform the development of more effective and sustainable health and safety training for immigrant, Latino/a dairy workers in the U.S. and other countries.
美国的工业化乳制品生产依赖移民劳动力，主要是拉丁裔劳动力，以满足更高的生产需求。鉴于美国乳制品厂工伤和疾病发生率很高，迫切需要开展符合文化背景的培训，以促进移民拉丁裔乳制品工人的安全操作。迄今为止，针对为乳制品行业的移民拉丁裔工人开展有效的职业安全与健康（OSH）培训的研究文章或指南很少。研究了与农业及其他高风险行业（如建筑业）的移民工人安全培训相关的文献，以确定有前景的方法。本文旨在为参与设计和实施针对乳制品行业移民拉丁裔工人的有效职业安全与健康培训计划的研究人员和从业人员提供实用指南。搜索范围限于1980年至2015年间由大学或推广项目发表的、用英语撰写的、与农业及其他高风险行业的移民拉丁裔工人的健康与安全培训相关的同行评审学术期刊和指南。还纳入了工业组织心理学领域文献中有关有效培训转化的相关建议。共识别出97篇文章，其中65篇符合纳入标准并做出了独特而重要的贡献。该综述揭示了一些有前景的策略，这些策略围绕五个主要主题对如何有效地为乳制品行业的移民拉丁裔工人量身定制健康与安全培训进行了分组：（1）了解并让工人参与；（2）培训内容和材料；（3）培训方法；（4）最大限度地提高工人参与度；（5）项目评估。确定农业及其他高风险行业中移民拉丁裔工人培训计划设计和实施的最佳实践，可为美国及其他国家为移民拉丁裔乳制品工人开发更有效和可持续的健康与安全培训提供参考。
