Re: Foreign Workers
The brits have to comply with a whole host of rules, government bodies and health and safety regulations in order to be in business, a householder should check that their builder carries the relevant public liability ins also, which can run into thousands per year, the plumber, joiner, brickie could face prosecution if they do not comply and to be quite honest they cannot afford not to, it's their livelihood, they cannot go back home if they get it wrong.Most government bodies demand that they are members of certain organizations before they will get work i.e. Constructionline etc , they are then reviewed and scored on their work, there is a mountain of bureaucracy to be complied with and it all comes at a high cost.

Edit:-
Just one example of the lack of safety in Polish (In fact all European cabling) is the way the wires are terminated in a fitting, definately dodgy in my view.
