We had a simple job last week of lifting in a meaty RSJ, four men at each end, English speakers one end Polish at the other. (not by choice but they dont like to be parted...). When the forman asked us to lift a bit they all ran to the LEFT! Not so clever with 700kg of steel above your heads. (no crane, genie or anything else could be used!).
The safety signs are in English, we call out in English if there is a problem, all useless to our East European workforce.
Just wondering if anyone has had any close calls with non-english speaking tradesmen?
