Introduction

Operating in a global economy challenges all businesses to work effectively with people from other cultures. The development of an increasingly polylingual workforce requires new approaches to ensure effective communication, not only to facilitate supervision and training, but also to allow such workers to be consulted and voice their concerns.

Following this event we hope to form a working group to produce a code of practice (acceptable to both the Health & Safety Executive and the food industry) regarding the information, instruction and training of diverse ethnolinguistic groups.
