Following recent work place fatalities, the Minister of Labour Joseph Hamilton has said there are plans to widen monitoring by increasing the current cadre of Occupational Health and Safety Officers across the country.
In a brief interview, Hamilton told Stabroek News that permission was given to the ministry to increase the amount of officers, who currently number 9, to 30.
He further noted that the intention is to place two officers in every region, with the exception of Region Four, across Guyana.
