SALEM— The Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration launched a new training resource to help English-speaking employers train and talk about workplace safety and health with Spanish-speaking workers as part of the PESO program.

The course, “Residential Construction Building Safety,” has six training modules covering safety while building residential homes, in a bilingual format, with photos accompanied by English and Spanish text and can be completed in about an hour, according to a press release from Oregon OSHA.

“With this new training resource, Oregon OSHA continues to build on its highly successful PESO program,” said division public education manager Roy Kroker.
