Many public-sector employees are often required to take occupational health and safety trainings and refreshers. Some state laws require both public and private companies to provide sexual harassment training to employees. In South Carolina, many companies are proactive about the training.
Most of the OSHA®-required training we provide directly in English and Spanish. However, we also provide professional conference (simultaneous) interpreters in a variety of languages for your training needs as well.
In the case of OSHA®-mandated training, OSHA® requires that training be done in the language best understood by the workers. Therefore, they must have a trainer in their language. Otherwise, professional interpreters familiar with OSHA® and safety will be needed. Per OSHA® rules, training with interpreters doubles the time, resulting in much higher training costs. When this need arises, please send us an e-mail to answer any questions.
