How a Language Access Platform
Supports Manufacturing Companies

A language access platform provides manufacturers with a single solution for multilingual communication: on the floor, in training rooms, and during HR conversations.

Over-the-Phone Interpreting (OPI)

Connect to qualified phone interpreters from landlines, mobile devices, or desktops.

Video Remote Interpreting (VRI)

Use VRI for conversations that require visual context or American Sign Language (ASL)

Multilingual Events

Host trainings, all hands, conferences, and other events in multiple languages.

Document Translation

Translate essential documents, procedures, manuals, and handbooks.

Watch How it Works

What is OSHA's Language-of-Understanding Requirement?

OSHA’s 2010 Training Standards Policy states that training must be presented in a manner that employees can understand. This means that safety training, hazard communication, and related instructions must still be accessible to workers who don’t speak English well.

How the Requirement Affects Manufacturing Plants

 Hazard Communication under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200, Lockout/Tagout 1910.147, Respiratory Protection 1910.134, Fall Protection 1926.501, and PPE 1910.132 all involve training, instructions, or safety information workers need to understand.

This is especially important for facilities with LEP workers across multiple shifts, plants, or job functions. If a worker cannot understand a safety briefing, incident debriefing, chemical label, SDS sheet, or equipment procedure, you may face safety and compliance risks.

Language Access Plans and OSHA Readiness

A documented Language Access Plan can help manufacturers show how they provide interpretation, translated materials, and language support for safety-related communications. This often includes human interpreters for high-stakes conversations and translated written materials for recurring procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions on
Manufacturing Language Services

OSHA requires safety training to be provided in a manner workers can understand. For manufacturers with LEP workers, that may require translated materials, interpreters, or other language access support for safety-critical topics such as HazCom, Lockout/Tagout, Respiratory Protection, Fall Protection, and PPE.
A Language Access Plan is a documented process for supporting workers who need language assistance. Manufacturing facilities can use a Language Access Plan to document how they provide interpretation, translated materials, training support, and reporting for OSHA-related safety communication.
SDS translation should preserve the GHS 16-section structure so hazard information stays organized and consistent across languages. Translation should also account for chemical names, hazard statements, precautionary language, exposure controls, emergency procedures, and glossary consistency.
Language needs depend on your workforce and location. Many U.S. manufacturers need support for Spanish, Vietnamese, Haitian Creole, Burmese, Karen, Somali, and other languages spoken by LEP workers across shifts and plants.
Boostlingo connects users to qualified interpreters in around 15 seconds on average for on-demand interpretation. This helps EHS teams, supervisors, HR staff, and health services personnel communicate quickly during incident reports, near-miss investigations, and other time-sensitive plant-floor situations.
Boostlingo can support interpretation and document translation for audit-related communication, supplier visits, and IATF/ISO documentation needs. Manufacturers should identify terminology, audit scope, and workflow requirements during implementation so interpreters and translators can prepare appropriately.
Boostlingo supports secure language access workflows and SOC 2 Type 2 review needs. Manufacturers should discuss data-handling requirements, confidentiality expectations, and any proprietary terminology during procurement and implementation.
Pricing depends on services used, number of plants, expected volume, language needs, and whether teams need OPI, VRI, AI, document translation, or IMS reporting. A language access specialist can help structure a plan for plant-level usage, departmental cost allocation, and organization-wide rollout.
