The Ministry of Labour’s Occupational Health and Safety Unit has sanctioned local firm Ramotar and Sons Contracting after the company recorded at least one death and a serious work-related accident between 2018 and 2019.
At a press conference on Friday, head of the Occupational Health and Safety Unit at the ministry, Gwyneth King, said that after investigations were completed, the Unit found the contractor to be in violation of Occupational Health and Safety guidelines.
In a move to resolve this and prevent work-related accidents from recurring, she said that the company was sanctioned and mandated to implement safer working conditions for employees. She did not disclose what the measures put in place were.
