Plain language, Safer Workplaces
Health and Safety Information Everyone Can Understand
Clear communication is critical to workplace safety. When safety policies, procedures, or instructions are unclear, rushed, or overly technical, the risk of errors and incidents increases—particularly in diverse workplaces.
The Alberta Chambers of Commerce, in collaboration with AWES, is offering a webinar focused on introducing plain language as a practical, proven approach to improving workplace communication and safety.
Drawing on real-world examples from Canadian workplaces, participants will gain practical tools they can apply to safety documents, training materials, and day-to-day communication. Clear communication helps reduce mistakes, build confidence, and improve safety outcomes.
What you’ll learn:
- How to identify communication gaps that contribute to errors and safety incidents
- How to apply plain language principles to safety policies, procedures, and training materials
- How to improve the clarity and usability of instructions to support safer work practices
