The US Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has translated and published its “Ten Steps All Workplaces Can Take to Reduce Risk of Exposure to Coronavirus” poster in 11 additional languages.

Currently available in English and Spanish, the poster highlights 10 infection prevention measures every employer should implement to protect workers' safety and health during the coronavirus pandemic.

Safety measures include encouraging sick workers to stay home; establishing flexible worksites and staggered work shifts; discouraging workers from using other workers' phones, desks and other work equipment; and using EPA-approved cleaning chemicals from List N or that have label claims against the coronavirus.

The poster is available for download in the following languages:

- Arabic
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Chinese Simplified
- Chinese Traditional
- French Creole
- Hmong
- Korean
- Polish
- Russian
- Tagalong

The additional translations are OSHA's latest effort to educate and protect America's workers and employers during the coronavirus pandemic. In response to President Trump's action to increase the availability of general use respirators, OSHA has issued a series of guidance documents that expand access to respirators in the workplace. OSHA has also published Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19, its guidance aimed at helping workers and employers learn about ways to protect themselves and their workplaces during the ongoing pandemic.
