The Occupational Health and Safety and Environment Association (OSHA) UK-Ghana Region, has urged government to expedite the passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Bill (OHS) into law to promote workplace health and safety.
The Bill, which is currently before cabinet, has been in and out of Parliament for the past six years.
Mr Kwamina Amoasi Andoh, the Chairman of the Advocacy Committee at OSHA, UK-Ghana Region, said government must fast-track the process to allow for ample time for Parliament to deliberate and pass the Bill into law.
He made the call when the Association conferred a fellowship status on Dr Henry Kwabena Kokofu, the Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in Accra.
