I my work, I am required to train a lot of hispanic workers in safety. How do I go about doing this? Well, it has been easier than I expected. After taking quite a few classes at the Academy of Languages in Atlanta, and working with the guys every day, I have learned to be pretty proficient in Spanish. Atleast in conversation.
The biggest problem I had was getting safety related documents in Spanish so that the guys could follow along. Most large loss control insurance companies will have a select few safety meeting topics and inspection forms for you to use, but it isn't always what you are looking for.
I began using a website out of Texas that has a pretty extensive library of safety related bi-lingual documents. These can be printed out and used as handouts during toolbox safety meetings or during fucused training.
