Is your international training breaking the law?
In many parts of the world, EHS training may not be legally valid unless delivered in the local language. Regulators increasingly expect safety-critical training to be understood without interpretation and in many jurisdictions this is written directly into law.
If employees receive EHS training only in English, your organisation could face invalidated training records, regulatory non-compliance, increased liability after incidents, fines or mandatory retraining.
To help you navigate these country-specific requirements, we’ve created an EHS Training Language Requirements Guide, showing where local-language delivery is required by law, with references to the legislation. Download the guide.
