What should I do to help my employees who speak english as a second language?

Bilingual Safety Training

There is a growing industry in safety training aids, and for material handling operations, there are multiple products that can make on-the-job safety training much simpler. When shopping for such safety training aids, it's important to look for bilingual DVDs and VHS tapes. Some companies offer these kits in English and Spanish separately, requiring safety officers to make two purchases instead of one. If you can find subtitled material, or DVDs with a language option, this is a much better value for your safety training dollar. Unfortunately, it's not safe to assume that a multi-lingual workplace has an equal understanding of English. Bi-lingual training aids insures a safe operation in the warehouse, on the dock, or on the job site.
