Dissemination campaign in Spring 2005
We will be disseminating information on the educational and training materials that will be available to construction workers interested in knowing about safety at work. We plan to advertise the availability of training courses for all Hispanic workers via newspaper advertisements, posters and brochures. These materials will be distributed in churches, grocery stores, hair salons, etc. Any ideas on how to disseminate our information are welcome. Please .
