"In a new safety guide, the TUC warns that some rogue employers are likely to be cutting corners and risking the health of their migrant workforce.
'Safety and migrant workers' says that many migrant workers are more vulnerable than UK workers to illness, injuries or even death at work due to a combination of a lack of safety training, non-existent or inadequate safety clothing and equipment, and poor English skills.
The guide for employers and unions says that the long hours worked by many migrant workers mean many risk accidents due to overtiredness, are denied sick pay so come into work when they are too ill to do so, and a lack of fluent English prevent many from grasping basic safety procedures at work."
