-poor housekeeping practices also observed
On Monday, Senior Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Officer Darwin Bourne and OSH Officer Ray Hosannah visited the New Thriving Restaurant on Main Street, Georgetown to investigate a complaint.
A release yesterday from the Ministry of Labour said that during their inspection, the officers assessed the generator fuel storage area and discovered that there were no fire protection measures in place to ensure the safety and health of the workers in that area.
As a result, a recommendation was made by the officers that a 4.5kg fire extinguisher be installed in the generator fuel storage area, positioned at least one meter above ground level. This included improving the restaurant’s housekeeping standards.
