Polish Health and Safety Induction

At First Health and Safety we realise that providing a suitable health and safety induction package for migrant workers can be difficult. So we can now offer our popular health and safety induction package in Polish.

Containing the same elements as our standard health and safety induction module, this will provide all delegates with the information they require to ensure they understand and comply with Health and Safety Legislation and procedures.

Migrant workers in the UK from places such as Poland have become more common in recent years, largely as a result of Poland joining the EU. The economic crisis has also meant that migrant workers from many countries are now finding employment where they can.

While there is no difficulty in the skills and abilities of the migrant workers, language does sometimes create a barrier to understanding. While it may seem reasonable to expect all migrant workers to adopt the language of the country they work in, a better way is to offer advice and help in their native language, at least at first, to ensure that they fully understand what is required of them.

In a subject as critical as health and safety, it is vital that everyone understands what they can do and what they must not do. Relying on migrant workers to have signs and notices translated for them by friends and colleagues is not sufficient. Responsible employers need to provide an induction package on health and safety in the native language of the migrant worker. It is to this end that FirstHealthAndSafety.co.uk have made available a suitable health and safety induction package for Polish migrant workers in their own language.
