JAMAICA’S OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY BILL
What does it mean for Employers & Employees?
Jamaica is likely to finalize the steps for the debate and passage of the Occupational Health & Safety Bill sometime this year. If approved, the resultant Act will replace the Factories Act, 1943 (as amended) and its various Regulations. The new legislation will have many far-reaching implications. In the workplace the
act will call for the establishment of new mechanisms – and the responsibilities of both employers and employees will undergo some major changes.
Is your firm familiar with what is proposed in the current bill? Have you factored into your planning the new systems/mechanisms that will be required for compliance?
The Jamaica Chamber of Commerce has partnered with member firm Nunes Scholefield DeLeon to host a Breakfast Seminar on Jamaica’s Occupational Health & Safety Bill. The presenters will be Attorneys-at-Law Ms. Ayana Thomas & Mr. Monroe Wisdom.
When: Wednesday April 12, 2017 Where: Knutsford Court Hotel. Time: Beginning at 7:30 a.m. Who: HR Personell, Legal Firms, persons in Administration, others - bring your team up-to-date with the current status of the bill and its contents by participating in this seminar.
To reserve your seat please complete the Registration Form HERE and return via fax: 924-9056 or email: [email protected]. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Andrea Waite via the same e-mail address or at Tel: 922-0150~1.
