On Tuesday, the Ministry of Labour, through its Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Department, conducted an inspection of the drillship Noble Tom Madden to assess compliance with Guyana’s OSH Act, Labour Laws, and ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Standards.
A release from the Ministry of Labour said that the inspection team included OSH Officer Naipaul Persaud and Labour Officer Emanuel Ramdhial. Their assessment focused on verifying the ship’s operating procedures, evaluating working conditions, and engaging with employees to ensure adherence to national labour and safety regulations.
As part of the visit, the release said workers were sensitized on key labour laws, including the Termination of Employment and Severance Pay Act, the National Minimum Wage Order, and regulations governing overtime and leave with pay. The team also engaged with personnel on board to address any concerns related to workplace conditions and compliance with safety protocols.
The Noble Tom Madden currently has 208 personnel on board.
