Health and Safety Executive: Undocumented Workers
(asked on 12th March 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many cases of migrants working undocumented were passed from the Health and Safety Executive to Immigration Enforcement in each of the last five years.
This question was answered on 20th March 2018
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) does not check the immigration status of workers or collect specific data on undocumented workers, as Great Britain’s health and safety law provides protection for all workers irrespective of their immigration status. If HSE inspectors observe signs of potential labour abuse in a workplace, HSE will share this intelligence with other enforcement agencies.
