Health & Safety Documents in Polish.

The enlargement of the EEC has resulted in many former eastern block citizens working in Great Britain and many Polish workers have taken advantage of these opportunities.

Many of these workers speak little if any English and it is therefore important that they understand instructions, both verbal and written, designed to ensure their health and safety is protected. The HSE has now issued a number of Polish language guidance documents for some important Health and Safety topics.
