2.)  SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES & MANAGEMENT SEMINARS

In addition to the 10 and 30-hour safety trainings, Bridges Language Institute gives 1 to 2-hour talks for school assemblies and management teams on any of the subjects listed below in the “Safety Training Topics” section.  It is important for young teenage workers to understand their rights and responsibilities in the workplace, and what they should be receiving for safety trainings.  Also, it is just as important for young workers to understand the protection the law affords them at work and what the law says about their employer’s rights and responsibilities. 

In the same manner, often times HR professionals and other managers do not have a very good understanding of what OSHA is or what their responsibilities are regarding OSHA. Bridges Language Institute customizes seminars to give an introduction and deepen employers' understanding of these issues. Please click here to view a Sample Outline of such a talk.

3.)  TRAINER PROFILE

Steven St. Laurent, the Founder of Bridges Language Institute, has a unique background of Engineering and Spanish. Mr. St. Laurent is an International Speaker & Trainer who has worked professionally as an engineer and consultant since 2000 in New England, Albuquerque, Sicily and Mexico! During Steve's two years in Mexico, he gained a command of technical jargon and slang in Spanish (especially Mexican words) that few professionals have. It would be a pleasure to help you in your training needs as well as any other language or cultural interface your company has with the Spanish language.

4.)  SAFETY TRAINING TOPICS

Table 1 below lists the topics covered in the 10 and 30-hour General Industry Safety Trainings.  Table 2 lists the topics for the 10 and 30-hour Construction Industry Safety Trainings. 

The 10-hour trainings are designed for workers, and therefore we emphasize hazard identification, avoidance, control and prevention rather than the standards portion of the trainings. In the 30-hour trainings we delve into the standards more.  

Table 1:  Content of the 10-Hour General Industry Safety Training

*The times are given in ranges to show that we have the freedom to personalize the trainings according to the needs of the client and course participants. We will also identify the most common violations and ways for abatement, and –where appropriate– we will show how to take advantage of the OSHA website.

5.)  TRAINING LOCATIONS

Bridges Language Institute typically performs these trainings on-site at your company. If your location is too small or not available, we will find a location for the training via the community colleges and construction & industry training schools that we have teamed up with over the years.

6.)  CLASS SIZE

The number of people in a class is limited to 50. 25-35 is an ideal size, but our trainer has experience with everything from 2 people all the way up to 45. Anything can be accommodated. Contrary to some teaching endeavors, with larger class sizes there is an added value to these safety trainings. This is true because when there are more people there is almost always more participation and sharing of their on-the-job safety-related experiences. These experiences are very valuable to the success and safety awareness that each participant gains from the training.

7.)  SCHEDULE

The 10-hour trainings are typically done in two sessions each lasting five hours. The 30-hour trainings are typically carried out in one week (Monday through Thursday). Any arrangement is possible; we will customize the trainings to fit your work schedule and shifts. OSHA allows us the flexibility to carry out the trainings over a 6-month period. So, as long as the entire training is completed within 6 months of the first session, completion cards will be issued.

For the 30-hour training, some plants prefer having a full-day training once a month or once a week instead of the one, intense week straight through. We will accommodate any schedule that works for you. We can also do the trainings during first, second or third work shift! Please Contact Us for more info.

The pricing for these 10 and 30-hour trainings are below in table. These prices include all course materials. There are no other fees unless there is (1) extensive travel; (2) your schedule mandates that we do the training in multiple, short meetings rather than the typical 5 to 8-hour seminar-style trainings; or (3) the training is needed in a language other than English or Spanish.

11.)  CREATING A CORPORATE SAFETY PROGRAM

As engineering, manufacturing and construction professionals, it is of the utmost importance to understand not only the safety regulations, but also to take proactive steps towards ensuring your safety and the safety of your employees.  OSHA considers “good faith” as one of its factors when looking into the issuance of safety citations.  So, regularly performing your own “company safety audits” as well as creating a corporate safety plan (and enforcing it) are wise and necessary steps to take. 

Bridges Language Institute does not perform safety audits or consult to help with writing a corporate safety plan; however, we will refer you to safety industry professionals that maintain the same caliber of excellence as we do.  We have contact with consulting firms in the safety industry whom we trust.  These businesses have worked with dozens of large and small companies, and they have personal experience with many of OSHA audits.  Please call (978-549-8224) or email (ss1@bridgeslanguage.com) Steven St. Laurent to find out more information.  Thank you for taking the time to read about our programs.  Stay safe!
