In 2007 ISTAS organised a workshop called ‘Inmigrantes y salud laboral’, dealing
with the situation of migrant workers. This gave rise to the booklet, which contains information relevant to migrant workers and their working conditions. The booklet focuses on sectors where migrant workers are commonly employed. It gives advice and instructions on how accidents can be prevented, and on typical hazards at work. It also provides basic information such as: What are my basic rights as a worker? What about breaks, working hours and paid holidays? What are the management’s duties with regard to safety and health at work? What about workers’ representatives? What are safety representatives for? What should I do if there’s an accident? What rights do I have when I have to take sick leave?
