MBI TO OFFER SPANISH TOOLBOX SAFETY TALKS
BY CHAD KLEPPE PRESIDENT & CEO
In an effort to provide value back to its membership, MBI offers – at no additional charge - its existing library of Tool Box Safety Talk to firms as part of their membership package. New for 2022, this offering will now include a Spanish version of Tool Box Safety Talks.
Through CSSI, MBI’s preferred safety provider, members can now access an entire complement of Tool Box Safety Talks in Spanish. Both the English and Spanish versions can be accessed via the MBI website in downloadable PDF formats.
Clases de Seguridad en Español (Safety Classes in Spanish)
In addition to Spanish safety talks, MBI, through CSSI, is also offering certain classes in Spanish. CSSI has identified a provider who has expertise in safety training and can effective and expertly conduct classes like a 10 Hour OSHA entirely in Spanish. (By having the class taught in Spanish, there is no need for a translator which would double the time – and expense – of the class.)
The importance of training workers for safety protocols is a must for construction companies and the need for training of Spanish speaking workers takes on an even higher degree of importance as communication barriers and understanding of basic safety programs creates unnecessary risk exposure and increased dangers for everyone on the site.
Should you be interested in learning more about safety training programs that are being offered in Spanish, please contact Tom Fulcher at TFulcher@MBI.Build.
