You may already know but the HSE have translated a number of basic HSE documents into Portuguese as we have used them on a number of occasions.

Most enlightening! I guess that most forum users like myself didn't know that HSE have translated a number of documents into other languages as listed at http://www.hse.gov.uk/languages/index.htm However, for some languages, there isn't a lot on offer. For example, in French there is only a leaflet about bad backs and another "Top tips for ladder and stepladder safety" alias "Conseils essentiels quant à la sécurité concernant les échelles et les escabeaux" for your edification. Also, though it's unlikely that the translated HSE documents contain any viable material for the separate forum topic "Translation Bloopers and misunderstood information", offerings from elsewhere remain welcome.
