The Vocational Safety Council at the Ministry of Labor said Monday it is considering launching an inspection campaign aimed at improving infection control capacity at workplaces.

The biological hazard in the work environment was the focus of discussion in the councils meeting that took place at the HQ of the Ministry of Labour.

Viruses, fungi, and bacteria pose workplace danger, so efficient procedures are needed to provide a safety culture for employees in companies and institutions, the Ministry of Labour said on Facebook.

The meeting emphasized the importance of drafting a resolution in this regard to protect employees in the public and private sectors alike.

The participants exchanged views of the current safety protocols and the precautionary measures taken to protect workers from the Covid-19 epidemic, noting the importance of strengthening the principles of application of occupational safety, in order to prevent work-related accidents and occupational diseases.
