You are evaluating an electrical contractor's safety onboarding program. The owner demonstrates that all OSHA-required safety manuals have been translated into Spanish for their Spanish-speaking crew.

You must judge the training as non-compliant because, even though the correct language is used, the instruction fails the legal and practical standard by not being delivered in a ____ the workers can actually understand.

You are designing a new safety management framework for your expanding electrical contracting business, which now employs both English-only and Spanish-only speaking electricians. To synthesize a comprehensive safety program that fully satisfies the requirement to deliver training in a language and vocabulary workers can actually understand, which integrated operational plan should you construct?
