COVID-19 Q&A
|
 |
How can the employer ensure employees comprehend the training elements required by the COVID-19 ETS?
|
 |
Employers must provide training in a language and at a literacy level the worker understands. If workers speak different languages or are at different literacy levels, the employer must ensure all training materials are presented so that each employee can understand. This may require the creation of various training materials in different languages.
The implementation of training programs, including how training is conducted and by whom, may vary based on the size and type of workplace or business, and employers have some flexibility to adapt training to their specific workplace. Employers can offer training in a variety of formats, including online, virtual, instructor-led, or application-based methods, but employers must ensure that workers get answers to their questions. There are different ways employers can ensure comprehension of the training materials, including a knowledge check (e.g., written or oral assessment) or discussion after the training.
