Safety Handbooks Available in English and Spanish
 June may be National Safety Month, but for Mike Thibodeaux, risk management director for Lennar Corporation based in Houston, every month is Safety Month. That is why Thibodeaux is a big fan of the safety publications from BuilderBooks.com, particularly the English-Spanish versions.
“The message is clear and concise, the pictures are great and it really does a good job of showing the safest way to do a particular job,” said Thibodeaux of the “NAHB-OSHA Jobsite Safety Handbook: English-Spanish Edition.” This pocket size manual covers the key safety issues residential builders need to focus on to reduce injuries and fatalities. Topics include employee and employer duties, orientation and training, personal protective equipment, housekeeping and stairs and ladders. “With the large number of Spanish speakers within the workforce, this is really very important,” Thibodeaux continued. “We give these out to each of our associates as well as our contractors. Right now, we’re working together with other builders, OSHA and the Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission in Houston presenting a two-hour safety training class exclusively for Spanish-speakers. This is one of the major handouts we’ll be using." “I haven’t seen anything like these,” Thibodeaux added. “I’m not aware of any other publication that is as concise, yet as complete. I know we’ve already ordered and distributed well over 5,000 copies of this job site safety handbook. And we’ll be buying more.” To view or order “NAHB-OSHA Jobsite Safety Handbook: English-Spanish Edition” online, click here.
