Employing Overseas workers
The main obsticle in employing workers from overseas as far as health and safety is concerned is the language barrier - as an employer, you must ensure that the same care is taken to ensure that your employees, whatever their nationality, comply with safety rules and ultimately it is up to you that they do this and understand them thoroughly .
