The right to know your rights includes information and training in a language you understand. Which statement reflects this requirement?

• A. Training is available only in English.
• B. Training and information must be provided in a language you understand.
• C. Information must be provided, but language is not a consideration.
• D. Language requirements do not apply to training.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that you must receive training and information in a language you understand so you can actually use it to stay safe. If training were only in English, workers who don’t read English might not grasp hazards, instructions, or how to protect themselves, which defeats the purpose of knowing your rights.

This is why the statement that training and information must be provided in a language you understand is the best choice. It aligns with OSHA’s goal of ensuring all workers can comprehend safety information, ask questions, and follow procedures. In real workplaces, this often means offering materials in multiple languages, using interpreters, or using clear visuals and plain language.

The other options fall short because they either limit training to English, ignore language needs altogether, or claim language doesn’t matter for training, which would leave some workers unable to understand safety information.
