PractiPol, a member of the Polish Business Link, continues to lead the way in practical health and safety consultancy – helping organisations across the UK keep their people safe, healthy, and informed. Here is short update from PractiPol
Autumn Is Here – Is Your Business Ready?
As the days get shorter and temperatures drop, autumn brings new workplace safety challenges. PractiPol highlights key seasonal risks and how to manage them:
-
Slips, Trips, and Falls: Wet leaves, mud, and darker evenings increase hazards around walkways and entrances. Clear debris regularly and ensure proper lighting.
-
Heating and Ventilation: Check heating systems early and ensure carbon monoxide alarms are functioning.
-
Fire Safety: Keep exits clear of debris and test emergency lighting.
-
Workplace Wellbeing: Encourage flu vaccinations and support mental health as daylight hours reduce.
-
Energy Efficiency: Review insulation, manage seasonal waste responsibly, and promote sustainable commuting.
By planning ahead and reviewing risk assessments, businesses can minimise disruptions and keep their teams safe this autumn.
Leading Health & Safety Support for Migrant Workforces
With its Polish roots and multilingual expertise, PractiPol has become the UK’s leader in Health & Safety support for European migrant workers.
For over a decade, the team has been helping organisations communicate safety messages that go beyond simple translation — addressing tone, meaning, and cultural context.
PractiPol is the only UK-based consultancy working directly with the Fundacja Kultury Bezpieczeństwa and the Polish Association of Health and Safety at Work, and has proudly been part of the PB Link network for over 10 years.
Their mission extends to researching and improving safety performance among migrant workers, bridging cultural gaps, and fostering open communication on-site.
The company also provides online safety courses in multiple languages — including Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Slovakian, and Czech — making training accessible to all.

Founder Maciej Klinowski shared insights on managing work-related stress and psychosocial risks for immigrant workers and entrepreneurs — a subject close to the company’s heart.
