Day for Safety and Health at Work Places Marked

Kofi Asamoah, TUC Secretary

The world today marked day for safety and health at work places. The day is set aside to sensitize workers and employers on the need to adhere to safety at work places.

As part of the observation of the day, the Trades Union Congress (TUC) is demanding enforcement of safety laws at workplaces.

The secretary of TUC, Mr. Kofi Asamoah said it is time the safety of workers is taken seriously at the various workplaces.

He advised employers to be much concerned about their occupational health and safety as much as they are concerned about their incomes and other service conditions.

He also advised them especially those at the textile industries among others to always put on protective clothing to ensure safety.

On behalf of the congress, Mr. Kofi Asamoah expressed his sympathy to all workers who through various injuries have lost their lives.
