March 3, 2006—The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Web-based training tool on construction safety has been restructured to aid Spanish-speaking construction workers.
OSHA’s new version of its construction eTool (“eTool de Construccin—La Prevencin De Fatalidades“) will help employers and workers identify and avoid hazards that commonly cause the most serious injuries in construction, including electrical, falls, struck-by, and trenching.
The updated version uses safety and health terms from OSHA’s English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English construction dictionaries, and includes a glossary of construction safety and health terms, as well as topics to aid in developing and maintaining effective workplace safety and health programs.
