CONTRACTERANTO – A communication-tool for high risk work environments where non-native speakers are involved

The ever increasing geographical mobility within Europe confronts employers and contractors with a new challenge:higher safety risks on the workfloor, due to the language gap btw workers from different nationalities. This project aims to help to bridge that safety gap.

CONTRACTERANTO is an online lexicon of work related terminology and it is multilingual (7 languages) and multimedial. It is aimed to refer to all sectors of industry, all high risk functions, all safety related subjects. Current scope refers to four sectors: construction, human health and care activities, metal sector and the chemical sector. But it is expandable to other sectors and can be translated to other languages easily.
