Safety committees oral reports

For other workplace safety issues basic communication skills will be important. Employees are expected to be able to present their work at laboratory meetings, conferences, and in publications, and these can have a safety component. New employees are often assigned to safety committees, and will have to deliver oral and written reports. They may eventually be responsible for training others under their supervision. In emergencies, good English skills are essential for the rapid dissemination of instructions.
