NSC Communicating with Spanish Speaking Workers

“For employers faced with the challenge of communicating safety to an increasing number of Spanish-speaking workers in the United States, one expert offers the following message: “You don’t have to speak Spanish to communicate with a Spanish-speaking work force.”

“I’m not saying don’t learn Spanish or not offer (Spanish-speaking) workers ESL courses,” explained Hector Escarcega, president of the Los Angeles-based consulting and training firm Bilingual Solutions International. “What I am saying is don’t wait to learn Spanish or for them to learn English to state the case about the importance of safety.”"
