Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – One welcomes the report of the recent recruitment activity at Rose Hall Estate, where is located a Diagnostic Centre which has long been a component of the sugar industry’s comprehensive health service. Hopefully the tradition will be observed whereby the contract of employment offered would be subject to the recruit being medically examined and declared fit for work – a condition most critical in these pandemic times.
Hopefully also the organisation’s newly appointed Chief Occupational Health and Safety Officer would be involved in advising on the appropriate PPE to be utilised by employees in field and factory respectively. All concerned must be sensitive and sensible about the changed working environment.
In the circumstances, it would appear a priority to redesign the standard employee orientation programme with a view to guiding employees how to manage and cope with a non-traditional work environment. Some creativity is therefore required.
Yours truly,
E.B. John
