Minister of Labour and Manpower Planning, Hon. Keoma D. Griffith, M.P., accompanied by a team of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Officers and other officials, conducted impromptu inspections at gold mining operations in the Potaro-Siparuni Region on Tuesday, October 13, 2026.

The exercise formed part of the Ministry’s ongoing efforts to promote safer working environments, strengthen awareness of occupational safety and health standards, and engage directly with miners and employers on workplace safety.

During the outreach, workers across several mining camps were engaged and provided with personal protective equipment (PPE), including high-visibility vests and safety boots, to support their protection on the job.

The Ministry remains committed to strengthening occupational safety and health standards and ensuring that workers across all sectors benefit from safer, healthier and more secure working environments.
