Minister of Labor announces day of verification of companies

Written by Miguel Crespin

The minister of Labor Rolando Castro has announced that in the next few days a day of verification of compliance with labor standards will be carried out in different companies in the country.

The official emphasized that 600 technicians will be deployed in different workplaces to verify that workers can perform their duties in an environment that ensures that they can return home safe and sound.

"We are not here to punish, but to protect and prevent. Our main objective is to promote a culture of prevention, where the occupational safety of the working class is the top priority", Castro wrote on his Twitter account.

The idea of the authorities is to avoid more fatal accidents like the ones registered in the last few weeks where two workers lost their lives in occupational accidents. The authorities intervened in both cases so that the family members could receive a compensation of US$50,000.

Finally, on tuesday, october 11, the head of Labor will hold a press conference to provide more details on these new operations.
