Make A Difference This June
In celebration of National Safety Month, EMC encourages you to plan to make a difference in your workplace. “Make a Difference” is the theme of the National Safety Council’s 2008 National Safety Month observance in June.
Participation in this month-long series of events is just one way organizations can support the council’s efforts to promote safe and healthy behaviors in the workplace and at home. National Safety Month posters and other materials are available at no charge on the council’s 2008 National Safety Month Planner’s Page.
Safety Training For Spanish-Speaking Workers
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) attributes an increase in the fatality rate for Hispanic employees, at least in part, to the language barrier. Concerns about that barrier continue to grow as more than 10 million Americans speak little or no English.
OSHA has compiled safety and health PowerPoint presentations in Spanish. These new resources are designed to assist OSHA construction and general industry outreach trainers and others in conducting Spanish language training for employees. Click here to access the presentations.
