AUSIT NAT Presents: International Translation Day Event - Hidden Health & Safety Hazards for Translators and Interpreters: What They Are and How To Avoid Them (Webinar)

Join us in raising awareness and promoting self-care in our profession

Whether we realise it or not, we face unique risks in the workplace as translators and interpreters.

While our main focus is on accurately conveying words and meanings, it is crucial to recognise the hidden health and safety hazards that come with our profession.

This International Translation Day, let's take a moment to explore:

• The potential physical and mental toll of translating and interpreting
• Strategies we can use to protect ourselves from harm
• Tips for healing if we've already experienced harm

In this webinar, we'll be diving into some of the latest research on a topic that doesn't always get the attention it deserves in the language services industry.

Registered participants will receive:

• Practical strategies to mitigate risks on the job
• Insights from real-life case studies
• A resources pack with additional tools
• Access to a recording of the event
