Esteemed colleagues - I am trying to find some basic health & safety instructions for certain members of our staff group whose first language is not English. Any links to any useful information would be welcomed, I am particularly interested in Arabic, Filipino, Portuguese and Nepalese. Thanks in advance

I'd always encourage pictoral representation in training documents where there is an ethnically diverse workforce - I have seen an large traffic depot in Leicestershire who had converted all their international driver information sheets into a step-by-step guide using mainly pictures, hardly any text at all for the drivers to worry about.

Hi, If you open any webpage through google you can usualy translate from english into most other languages. Regards Steve

Hmmm, most of the online translation that I have seen falls into the: 'Order your summers suit. Because is big rush, we will execute customers in strict rotation.' variety!

Thanks for the offerings to date - noted the HSE web pages have some material but this is VERY limited - can anyone else provide any further links. Many thanks
