TUC issues new safety guidance for migrant workers

Trade unionists understand the importance of fighting to protect the most exploited and vulnerable workers, and therefore will welcome new TUC online safety guidance for migrant workers.

A TUC safety leaflet, published with the Health and Safety Executive and translated into 19 different languages, is an attempt to improve safety awareness for this growing segment of the UK workforce.

The leaflets are in Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Czech, Greek, Gujarati, Pashto, Portuguese, Polish, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Tamil, Turkish, Ukrainian and Welsh, as well as English.

The new leaflets complement a detailed TUC booklet on migrant workers safety published last year (Labour Research August 2007).
