Safety briefings for workers who speak another language

How it works in a briefing

Open Konvo on the trainer’s laptop, set the language the trainer speaks and the language the workers read, and press Start. Turn on Caption mode to show the translation in large text, then move that window to a projector or a big screen. People read along in their language while the trainer talks.

If a worker has a question, they say it in their own language using the Speak tab on the trainer’s laptop. Konvo translates it and reads it aloud in the trainer’s language, so no question gets lost.

What it does, and what it does not replace

Konvo makes the spoken part of a briefing understandable. It does not replace your written safety instructions, translated warning signs, or the record that each person attended and understood. For serious hazards, use professionally translated material and check understanding, for example by asking people to explain the rule back in their own words.

After the session, the transcript stays on the trainer’s computer. It can help you see what was actually covered, but it is not a signed attendance record.

One reading language per session

Each session translates into one reading language. With a mixed group, for example Polish and Romanian speakers together, run the briefing once per language group, or run Konvo on a second laptop with the other language.
