Easy read guides to support disabled workers

9 September 2025

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has recently published easy read guides to help support disabled workers and workers with long-term health conditions.

Easy read is a way of making written information easier to understand. It uses simple language, short sentences and clear images to help explain content.

It is increasingly used to help people who have a learning disability and can also be useful for people who speak English as a second language.

HSE has added six easy read guides to their disabled workers guidance.

Workers can find the complete collection on HSE’s website.
