Training Language and Comprehension

OSHA requires that electrical safety and arc flash training be provided in a language and vocabulary that employees can understand. This means employers must ensure that employees fully comprehend the training content.

If you’re training Spanish-speaking workers, you need to provide them with Spanish electrical safety and arc flash training. Providing English-language training to workers who don’t speak English does not meet OSHA’s training requirements.

This bilingual electrical safety training instructor package specifically helps you meet this requirement to ensure OSHA and NFPA compliance for both English and Spanish workers.
