City Food Court contractors could face probe for not reporting site accident

Accident site: The City Food Court

Contractors responsible for the ongoing construction of the City Food Court at Camp and Robb streets, where a worksite accident on December 2 left four workers injured, could face sanctions for failing to formally report the incident to the Ministry of Labour as required under the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

Little has been heard of any official investigation into the accident reportedly resulting from the collapse of a temporary structure on which the workers were standing. However, Stabroek Business has been reliably informed that the matter came up at a recent meeting of the National Advisory Council on Occupational Safety and Health (NACOSH).
