New Breakout Track: BBS in Spanish

The United States is home to several million Hispanic immigrants. Some say there are 12 million or so. Most of them are working in jobs that involve a certain amount of safety concerns, due to the nature of the work. BBS is an obvious way to address the needs of a business that is dealing with this situation. The language and cultural differences sometimes pose difficulties in implementing and sustaining a safety process.

The presenters of a three part breakout track are aware of the issues, and are offering insights and solutions to deal with them at BSN2010. In break-out sessions delivered in Spanish, these sessions will cover: 1) a basic overview of BBS, 2) a case study of a BBS implementation in Mexico, and 3) a discussion of the cultural considerations when implementing BBS in a Spanish environment.

En los Estados Unidos, se encuentran millones de emigrantes Hispanos. Se dice que hay unos 12 millones. La mayoría están trabajando en condiciones y oficios que los exponen a ciertos riesgos en cuanto a seguridad. BBS (Seguridad Basada en Comportamiento) es una manera obvia de tratar con esas preocupaciones en una empresa. Sin embargo, hay diferencias culturales y de idioma que pueden producir inconvenientes en implementar y sostener un proceso de seguridad.

Los presentadores en están al tanto de eso y estarán ofreciendo soluciones y sugerencias para ayudar en ese campo. Las sesiones especiales en español se presentarán en BSN 2010. Los temas son: 1) Un resumen básico de BBS, 2) una experiencia de una implementación de BBS en México, 3) una discusión de consideraciones culturales cuando se implementa un proceso de BBS en un ambiente Hispano.
