Evidencia 4: Workshop “Safety Signs”

Cada empresa debe estar debidamente adecuada con señales de seguridad,

tanto en inglés como en español, y así cumplir con los requerimientos de
seguridad e información que exige el estado. Por esto, se considera
indispensable tener claridad acerca de las características de estas señales, con
el fin de implementarlas de manera adecuada. Es aquí, donde el material de
formación: "Permission and request in security and health", junto con el material
complementario, cumplen una función relevante durante el proceso de formación
de este programa.

Para la presente actividad de aprendizaje, el aprendiz deberá desarrollar un taller

que dé cuenta de los conocimientos que ha adquirido en el área técnica y que ha
afianzado mediante el material de formación del área de inglés, anteriormente
nombrado. Para realizar esta evidencia, se deberá tener en cuenta lo siguiente:

1. Estudiar el material de formación: "Permission and request in security and

health" y consultar el material complementario.
2. Desarrollar el taller “Safety Signs” en un archivo de word
3. Enviar el archivo al instructor en formato .doc o .pdf a través de la
plataforma virtual de aprendizaje.
