April Chapter Meeting
Date/Time: Tuesday, April 2nd, 2019
Executive Committee: 10:00 am Regular Meeting: 11:30 am – 1:00 pm Program begins at noon. Location: Black Bear, 1150 E. Barnett Rd., Medford Topic: Teaching Safety to a Bilingual Workforce Speaker: Naomi Hernandez Senior Safety Management Consultant SAIF Corp Teaching Safety to a Bilingual Workforce This informative training session focuses not only on why companies should offer training for those where English is a second language but it also will explain the understanding as to why it is so different to teach employees from the Latino community. Primarily this is due to the vast differences in their literacy/educational levels, spoken languages, and country of origin. The focus of this session will be on how to train and communicate more effectively, while inspiring a workforce that normally is not very involved in a traditional safety program. Participants will be provided with resources and are given examples on how/what to train. Please join ASSP for this insightful training from a professional bilingual safety trainer. Naomi will share tips and tricks for communicating safety to a Latino workforce. You will better understand this culture and ways that effective safety training can be delivered. Presented By Naomi Hernandez Senior Safety Management Consultant SAIF Corp Naomi has been with SAIF Corporation for 11 years where she has had the privilege to provide her bilingual skills as a Safety Consultant, a Claims Adjuster and as an Investigator. She is a first generation Mexican American with a BA from the University of Oregon in Sociology and Spanish. She comes from a family of immigrants that started their work lives in the fields of the Willamette Valley exposing her to picking berries and cucumbers in the Canby area at the age of 5 years old. It is her family’s strong work ethic and experiences as workers of Oregon that pushed her to pursue her honors thesis at the U of O on the struggles of Mexican American immigrants with the immigration system.
