Abstract
Approximately 8% of the UK construction workforce and 30% of the US workforce are migrant construction workers. Recent studies show several barriers for migrant workers including language and communication difficulties. This has obvious implications for the management of health and safety. This paper discusses the effectiveness of pictorial aids for communicating hazards and controls to migrant workers on construction sites.
