In criticism of Health and Safety Minister Joe Bossano’s recent comments at the latest Health and Safety seminar held on Monday 4th November, the GSD has claimed that Minister Bossano ‘simply does not know what he is talking about in matters of H&S’.
The party insists that this follows on from his Parliament track record ‘Parliament which shows little regard for the development of H&S policies.’ At the seminar, Minister Bossano claimed that both public and private employers ‘are not conducting risk assessments with regard to their employees’ working duties’. The GSD explains that this ‘distorts reality, as there are many employers (both public and private) who systematically conduct risk assessments on a continuous basis, either in relation to their own employees or with contracted-out work.’
