The Ministry of Labour, Small and Micro Enterprise Development will begin operationalising Section 66 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act this fiscal year, paving the way for a more proactive role for the Occupational Safety and Health Authority (OSHA) in preventing workplace injuries and illnesses.
Permanent Secretary Natalie Willis announced the initiative on Monday night while delivering remarks on behalf of the Minister of Labour at the American Chamber of Commerce of Trinidad and Tobago’s (AMCHAM T&T) 16th Annual National Excellence in HSE Awards at the Hyatt Regency Trinidad.
