Health and safety officers of the Ministry of Labour (MoL) are now able to ensure that labourers who operate in confined workspaces can do so safely.
According to a MoL release, Six Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) officers have achieved this competency following a one-day training course in Confined Space Entrant and Attendant Training. This is essential for individuals working in enclosed spaces with limited entry and exit, such as tanks, pits, vats, silos, or vessels.
It was conducted on Thursday, June 27 by HHSL Safety Systems (Guyana) Inc, and facilitated by Course Instructor and Emergency Medical Technician, Preslee Paul, the release said.
