Recently I have been supporting clients that have staff and contractors that do not speak or understand English.
This could be a problem, however here are some tips to help you:
- Arrange for a translator to attend a training session so that everything can be explained to them.
- Have the safety documents translated for the site staff.
- Ensure they understand all of the documents and check for understanding.
- Safety signs can be made in the necessary language.
- Ask staff to sign their acceptance and understanding.
