The Ministry of Labour has indicated its intention to investigate Centipede Offshore Guyana Inc for unsafe work practices after becoming aware that 39-year-old Tanesha Fredericks had won a court case brought against the company for chemical burns she sustained while under their employ.
Fredericks, who worked as a utilities cleaner, was granted a default judgment for her injuries against locally operated Trinidad oil company – Centipede Offshore (Guyana) Inc, which has now merged with a larger oil company, JSL International Guyana Inc.
