Worker Education Roundtable at www.umass.edu/roundtable/projects/Health-Safety-ESOO.pdf. You can download it there. It was written by Jenny Utech, an experienced ESOL teacher and trainer. You can also contact Connie Nelson, the Director of Roundtable, at (617) 983-3667. Also, materials and curricula for ESOL students on various specific health and safety topics are available from many of the COSH (Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health Organizations) which exist in many states. In our, it's MassCOSH at www.masscosh.org. On that site, there is a list of COSH's in other states with contact information and links to their sites, which include materials on many health and safety topics (at www.masscosh.org/node/108 ). COSH materials are typically written in popular format and often more accessible to ESOL or low-literacy folks than many (but not all) Federal DOL publications. Along with info about specific health and safety hazards, they are focused on helping workers know their rights, and on advocacy and legislation. I don't know if any of these are actually interactive on-line, but they could certainly be adapted so that they were.
