00:03 and occupational safety and health standards to ensure workplace rules and regulations
00:08 are being followed.

00:14 worker died, while three others sustained injuries.

00:44 following the accident investigation.

00:55 when they look at the compliance to general labor standards and occupational safety and
01:00 health standards, it is consistent and that is a mandate that DoLE and regional offices
01:07 are enforcing."
