Seminar on Health & Safety
The Occupational Health & Safety Authority (OHSA) would like to draw the attention of the general public that a feature appearing in a local English language newspaper on Sunday November 4, 2007, referring to a seminar to be held by the Authority in partnership with a local non-governmental organisation and a commercial entity, is incorrect and misguiding.
This is not the first instance whereby the OHSA had to resort to declarations to correct misguided impressions on training services and employers’ obligations in this regard. Whilst reaffirming its autonomy and without prejudice to further action, the Authority would like to point out that it is not linked to any commercial centre or other organisation providing occupational health and safety services. The OHSA would like to advise the public that as part of its ongoing efforts to promote awareness and high standards of workplace health and safety, it regularly organises training courses and seminars addressed to stakeholders. Further information may be obtained by contacting the Authority on 21247677, training.ohsa@gov.mt or by visiting our website www.ohsa.org.mt
The authority would like to remind interested individuals that it maintains a Register of Competent Persons that does not include commercial entities. The OHSA encourages individuals who may wish to be considered for inclusion in this register to send a detailed cv, including proof of competence in occupational health and safety, to Awtorita’ ghas-Sahha u s-Sigurta fuq il-Post tax-Xoghol, 17 Triq Edgar Ferro, Pieta’ PTA 1533.
