Safety Council has created a new instructor-led program called Safety as a Second Language, in an effort to meet a growing need in the workplace. Taught in Spanish, Safety as a Second Language is designed to build basic safety knowledge and safety awareness for Spanish-speaking adults, and to teach the “hows” and the “whys” of safety.

The course identifies and explains key safety terms (in Spanish) for contract workers who intend to work in industrial settings. The terms are then related into the English terminology that they will actually encounter when working in plants, construction worksites, warehouses, and other industrial settings.

The result is workers who are familiar with and who use safe work practices, workers who understand the importance of practicing safety, and workers who return home safe & sound to their families.

Who should attend?

Any Spanish-speaking worker who:

• wants to learn more about safety.
• intends to work in the industrial field or the construction field.
• Any worker who wants to enhance his or her safety awareness at the workplace, on do-it-yourself projects, and in the home environment.

What you can expect to learn?

• General Employee Safety
• Hazard Communication
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Respiratory Protection
• Hearing Conservation
• Electrical Safety
• Fall Protection
• Process Safety Management (PSM)
• Safety Concepts

La Seguridad Como Segundo Idioma

Enseñada en español por un instructor Hispano, este curso ha sido diseñado para dar conocimientos básicos, y para crear conciencia acerca de la Seguridad para estudiantes adultos Hispanos.

El curso primero identifica y explica conceptos claves de seguridad, en español, para aquellos que deseen trabajar en el área de la industria y construcción. Estos conceptos son luego conectados a los conceptos correspondientes en inglés, con los cuales van a tratar en sus trabajos en las plantas industriales.

El resultado es que los trabajadores estarán familiarizados con dichos términos y que usarán seguridad en el trabajo, son trabajadores que entienden la importancia de las prácticas de seguridad, y son trabajadores que regresan a su casa sanos y salvos.
