The Council has been given until July 29, to rectify the problems which the report would have highlighted.
King stated that the Council will study the report and will take necessary action. “We will follow the guidance of the recommendations in the report.”
Regarding the investigation of businesses particularly in Georgetown, Chief Labour, Occupational Safety and Health Officer, Charles Ogle, said, “The inspections are routine, we carry them out on a regular basis.”

Ogle said that the job of the department is a work in progress as they continue to make recommendations to businesses to improve their working environment.
