Objective:

This project translated the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) interactive video series (Volumes I and II) entitled “Fatal Shipyard Accidents: Hazards and Solutions” into Spanish. The videos use computer animation to showcase types of shipyard fatalities, the reasons why these accidents happen and how to prevent the same fatalities from happening in the future. These videos will help shipyard safety professionals effectively communicate work environment safety hazards to Spanish-speaking employees. Safety professionals will be able to supplement their safety meetings and safety training courses with greater effectiveness and contribute to the ultimate goal of eliminating unsafe work practices in shipyards.
