This Code applies to workplaces with employees whose language skills require the use of languages other than English to understand information, receive training and participate in consultation.

This Code provides practical guidance on:

• building a language profile by identifying language groups within the workforce
• deciding what OHS information needs to be communicated
• techniques for communicating OHS across languages
• providing language support, such as using translators, interpreters and multilingual employees
• suitable approaches to undertaking consultation
• effective ways to provide information, instruction and training in culturally and linguistically diverse workplaces.
