RESIDENTS and farmers from several communities across Region Five recently benefitted from a one-day sensitisation outreach hosted by the Ministry of Labour.
The initiative focused on educating attendees about Guyana’s Labour Laws, including the rights and responsibilities of both employers and employees, while promoting safe and fair workplace practices.
The outreach was conducted by Labour Officer, Ms. Vedmattie Budhram, Occupational Health and Safety Officer, Ms. Babita Singh, and Ms. Jamayce George, a student currently on attachment from the University of Guyana.
Communities such as De Hoop, Flora Gardens, Federick Johana, Plantation, Broken Waterland, Big Biaboo, Little Biaboo, and No. 10 were among those that participated in the awareness sessions.
The Ministry of Labour continues to engage citizens across the country through educational campaigns that support improved working conditions and increased knowledge of workplace standards.
