Health & Safety
The Heath & Safety Executive (HSE) has a number of translated documents on the issue of Health & Safety. "Your Health, your Safety: a guide for workers" is translated into a number of languages, together with a range of industry specific documents.
The HSE also operates a telephone interpreting service covering over a hundred different languages. To use the service, contact Infoline on 0845 345 0055, and tell the operator which language you wish to speak. The operator will then arrange for an interpreter to be connected into the telephone line within a minute or so, and you will be able to continue your enquiry in your own language.
