Ghana’s premier health and safety think-tank, Health and Safety Group Africa HESAG, has called on Government to demonstrate a high level of commitment to have the Occupational Safety and Health draft bill passed.
This they believe will address Occupational Safety and Health challenges facing Ghanaian workers.
The Government must also undertake broader consultations to ensure the policy is comprehensive and embedded in its mechanisms to allow workers report accidents and occupational illnesses and infractions without victimisation.
These were contained in a statement signed by the President of HESAG Africa, Dzifa Ahadzi, to commemorate World Day for Safety and Health at Work.
