What Would You Say? (French) is a 15-minute online course delivered in French that trains employees to communicate effectively about workplace hazards and unsafe behaviors. It is designed for French-speaking employees in general industry, construction, and manufacturing settings and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
Workplace injuries remain a persistent challenge across industries, with OSHA reporting over 5,200 worker fatalities and 2.6 million nonfatal injuries and illnesses annually. Research consistently shows that poor safety communication is a contributing factor in many of these incidents. According to surveys conducted by Safety Performance Solutions, 90% of workers believe they should speak up when they observe unsafe behavior, but only 60% actually do. That gap between intent and action represents preventable injuries and, in some cases, preventable deaths.
This course trains your French-speaking employees to intervene constructively when they observe hazardous conditions or unsafe behaviors. Through three realistic workplace scenarios, employees learn specific communication techniques - including how to be positive, express genuine concern, explain consequences clearly, and provide specific feedback. The course also addresses how to respond professionally when a coworker points out your own unsafe actions, reinforcing a culture where safety feedback flows in both directions.
While no single OSHA standard mandates peer safety communication training specifically, the OSHA General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act) requires employers to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious physical harm. Effective safety communication is widely recognized as a foundational element of meeting this obligation. OSHA's Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) and Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) both emphasize employee involvement and open communication as critical components of effective safety management systems. In FY 2025, OSHA issued over 33,000 citations across all standards, with serious violations carrying penalties up to $16,550 each and willful or repeated violations reaching $165,514. Employers who foster a culture of active safety communication reduce their exposure to these penalties by catching hazards before they result in injuries or citations. Offering this training in French demonstrates an employer's commitment to ensuring all workers - regardless of primary language - can participate fully in the organization's safety culture.
