ARLINGTON, VA – Specialized news and information publisher BNA has created a series of Spanish/English bilingual safety talks, posters, and playing cards that promote as part of a comprehensive safety program addressing the potential hazards most likely to cause serious incidents in the workplace. The bilingual presentation of safety topics also helps foster open communication and dialogue.
“With BNA’s bilingual safety talks and posters, you can decide which safety messages are most important to communicate to your staff,” said Grace Gagnet, Certified Safety Professional and President of AFA Safety Services, Inc. “Choose from hundreds of safety talks and posters to find exactly the topics that target your workplace conditions. Then reinforce your key safety messages from the talks with bilingual posters. BNA’s laminated posters are perfect for long-term projects. If workers are spread out geographically, you can download and print out electronic posters for remote locations and short-term use. The bilingual safety playing cards are ideal for break rooms or cafeterias, and safety professionals can take them home to help expand safety culture beyond the workplace.”
The safety topics for BNA’s Spanish/English bilingual talks, posters, and playing cards are backed by extensive analysis of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics about safety hazards that lead to the most serious accidents. The safety talks use a friendly storytelling method to get workers communicating about crucial safety topics. BNA’s bilingual materials offer a non-threatening way for safety professionals to encourage discussion at safety meetings.
