			 barriers, you must communicate safety awareness information in a manner that
			 workers can understand. Include content that is either translated into the
			 language used to hire and supervise these employees or that is otherwise
			 effectively conveyed, such as through visual media.

			 have a committee or meetings based on the number of employees that you direct
			 and control.
NOTE
: Nothing in these rules prevents you from
