LAMA Books Releases “HVAC Spanish,” Providing Spanish Translations for HVAC and HVAC/R Terms

“Workplace fatalities are increasing for Spanish-speaking employees in the United States. In 2005 there were 883 Hispanic worker fatalities, marking an eleven percent increase from 2003, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to the US census, native Spanish-speaking workers totaled 38.3 million or about 14% of the total population of the United States in the year 2001-02. As these numbers rise, the importance of clear communication with Spanish-speaking workers is taking a front row seat.

HVAC Spanish, a newly released bilingual pocket size book from LAMA Books ( www.lamabooks.com) assures easy communication with Spanish-speaking workers. The book contains 88 pages of commonly used HVAC and HVAC/R terms, including safety phrases. Terms are translated from English to Spanish and from Spanish to English. This easy, on-the job-reference will help any employer more thoroughly train workers, increasing employee morale and productivity, reducing callbacks, and preventing job site injuries. This bilingual book is sized to fit in a shirt pocket and priced at $5.

“This has been one of our most enthusiastically anticipated titles,” says LAMA Book’s publisher, Leo Meyer. “We feel this will be a classic reference for HVAC and HVAC/R employers and employees. Our upcoming books include ‘Plumbing Spanish,’ ‘Electrical Spanish,’ and ‘Refrigeration Spanish’.”
