Mental Health Awareness Video Now Available in Spanish

January 11, 2024

One of the most important videos in the MCAA Safety & Health resource collection is now available in Spanish. Over the last several years, MCAA members have increasingly requested our safety videos in Spanish, and that comes as no surprise. Data shows that 34% of construction workers are Spanish speakers, the largest of any industry in the U.S. The fatality rate for Hispanic construction workers remains higher than that for non-Hispanics, but with resources like these MCAA is working to bridge that gap.

This new resource follows the launch of six Spanish-language videos in 2023.

MCAA’s current Spanish-language training videos, or their English-language counterparts, are:

  • Mental Health Awareness & Suicide Prevention Video  SpanishEnglish

MCAA will continue to add additional Spanish-language safety resources throughout 2024 to help ensure the safety of all our industry’s workers.
