VOLUNTEER MIGRANTS REQUIRED FOR A RESEARCH STUDY

A unique study into accidents and injuries among migrant

workers in Perth is looking for volunteers to help them

investigate why people who were not born in Australia face

more hazards at work than their colleagues.

WAIMR Researcher, Cema Santos, who is running the study,says volunteers will be asked to fill in a questionnaire and

will also be asked questions in focus groups about their

perceptions of risk in the workplace."I'd like to speak to men and women born in Africa, Asia, Middle East and

Latin America," she said. "Volunteers need to be aged between 18 and 70 and be employed, even if it's on a

casual basis. They must also speak English." "We realise that recruits to the study will need to go to work, so

we are flexible about meeting times and we can even travel to visit different communities for meetings in the

evening. Our focus groups last for an hour and a half and we will serve refreshments."

If you would like to join the study, or have questions, please phone Cema on 9346 1514 or email

[email protected].
