Using plain language can protect workers on the job.
In today's diverse work environments, using acronyms, jargon, and complex words can create barriers and make it hard for everyone to understand important health and safety guidance, including people who are new to the workforce or those who speak a different first language. These misunderstandings may lead to confusion, errors, injuries and feelings of exclusion among employees.
By using plain language, you make sure everyone understands how to follow instructions or report a hazard to stay healthy and safe on the job.
Display this poster in your workplace to encourage people to use plain language effectively, and to access resources from our plain language toolkit.
