00:00 The Occupational Safety and Health Center of the Labor Department
00:04 reminded the companies and business establishments
00:07 to implement the program for a safe workplace.
00:11 Kenneth Paciente has more.
00:13 Following the accident at Quezon City Hall, Kamakailan,
00:19 where a construction worker was injured and three others were injured,
00:24 the Occupational Safety and Health Center of the Labor Department immediately notified the QCLGU.
00:30 If violations are seen,
00:33 that's why this happened,
00:34 we will provide findings on the process
00:41 that the National Capital Region will do following the accident investigation.
00:48 Next, the DOLE again reminded all workplaces to implement the General Labor and Occupational Safety and Health Standards.
00:57 In fact, their regional offices are constantly monitoring the workplaces
01:02 to ensure that the regulations are followed in the construction sites.
01:07 The regional offices of the DOLE monitor and inspect the workplaces
01:14 and check the compliance to the General Labor Standards and Occupational Safety and Health Standards.
01:21 That's a continuous process.
01:22 That's a mandate that DOLE and regional offices are following.
01:29 According to DOLE, every establishment should ensure
01:33 that they have safety officers who implement the safety programs for the employees.
01:39 Although some establishments have DOLE that does not comply with the safety and health standards,
01:44 the agency assured that they are working hard to provide technical assistance,
01:48 like training for the micro-establishments to become safety officers in case they are not yet there.
01:55 If you have complaints,
01:57 just go to the nearest regional field office or district office of the DOLE
02:08 to file your complaints.
02:11 DOLE will accept your complaints and will provide the necessary processes
02:18 that the employees will follow.
02:25 Kenneth Paciente, for the country.
02:28 Bye, y'all.
