An RSI Communicating Risk method

Plain language and translation

Plain language and translation is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better communicate risk.

Broadly

Plain language makes risk information accessible by reducing jargon, simplifying sentence structure, and focusing on clarity. Translation—both linguistic and cultural—extends access to non-native speakers and diverse communities. This method enhances inclusivity, compliance, and equity in communication.

More specifically

RSI employs plain language and translation services to ensure risk messages are comprehensible to broad and diverse audiences. Its workflows include readability testing, community validation, and alignment with regulatory requirements. RSI prioritizes clarity without oversimplifying technical content, especially in multilingual environments.
