Multilingual safety briefings
Clear communication requires more than an automatic translation.
Three things to check
- 1
Check participants' preferred languages
- 2
Review critical technical terminology
- 3
Ask workers to explain the risks back
Scope and limitations
Actual application features depend on the installed version, permissions and deployment. Verify release availability.
Check primary sources
These links lead to Korean authorities. Confirm the exact provision and effective date for your situation.
Original hypothetical situation
A translated warning is misunderstood
A worker does not understand which part of the site is referred to as 'line 3'.
Consider: Is a machine-translated message enough?
Point to the exact area on a site map or photograph and ask the worker to explain the instruction back.
An illustrative scenario, not a report of an actual event.
