The Occupational
Safety and Health Center (OSHC), the clearing house of information and
approaches related to occupational safety and health (OSH) to the general
public, hired more staff to extend its reach to the regions.
The Board approved the
employment of five (5) staff in different regions after the ECC-OSHC governing
board meeting before 2014 ended.
These five (5) newly
appointed employees assigned in Regions 2, 5, 6, 10, and 12
will coordinate the OSH directives on the conduct of the Center’s training and advocacy activities. The Center oriented to them its background and day-to-day operations as well as specialized services. Furthermore, the new employees received training in basic occupational safety and health (BOSH) and construction safety before deployment to their assigned regions.
The Center already has established branches in Cebu,
Cagayan de Oro and Butuan-Surigao. This endeavor will reinforce the call for a
safer and healthier workplace in all regions of the country.
