Communicate the company´s belief in the
importance of worker safety
The company’s owner must recognize that worker safety is as important as
production, and effectively communicate this belief. This is accomplished
through establishing an effective accountability system. Managers, supervisors
and foremen actions must be measured by meeting both safety and production
goals.
Safety Leadership!
When someone doesn’t speak the language, much of the learning takes place
visually. For this reason, a company hiring limited-English speaking workers
must ensure that safe work procedures are already in place.

Here’s an example of a dangerous
non-verbal training session: A newly
hired Spanish-speaking worker sees a
coworker walk through the
construction site without wearing his
hardhat. The coworker stops to chat
to a foreman who also is not wearing
his hardhat.
The message: You don´t have to wear
a hardhat on this job site!
