520 _aA paper presented at the COBRA Conference in New Delhi on 10-12 September 2013. Investigates the West Midland based North-Indian migrants' awareness of issues related to health and safety on a construction site. The study revealed that migrants are employed in both skilled and unskilled jobs. They are often exploited for the fact that they have low English language skills. They have low health and safety knowledge and are paid significantly below the UK National Minimum Wage. This paper highlights to the industry and academia key aspects of safety awareness by immigrant workers in West Midlands.
