Patricia Kagerer, VP Risk Management for CF Jordan Construction, stated, “We hope that El Paso will rally behind this good cause and vote today. CF Jordan is recognized nationally for its safety record and we would like to have safety leadership training to reach as many Hispanic construction workers throughout El Paso in many different settings and companies in order to promote a safe work environment.”
Bringing this Spanish-language training to El Paso will offer the Hispanic workers an important opportunity that will assist in providing a safe working environment for all. The construction community is large in El Paso, and the safety leadership education would provide many workers the opportunity to improve their individual and company safety records.
Branta Worldwide works at making a difference in improving safety in the construction community. They have worked with CF Jordan Construction employees and the results are shown in CF Jordan’s award-winning safety record. If funded, the safety leadership training will be open to all construction workers in the El Paso community. The ability to provide this education to workers helps the entire Hispanic construction community and can be life-saving.
