SV: {UAH} Hon. Karooro Okurut; Occupational Safety and Health Act 2006

DAN,

As one of those who have been at this for long ((including yourself)),

I salute Hon Karooro on this even if experience has markt many of us with

close to cynical scars which incline us not to applaud in advance for fear this too, could be a "one night" this thing.

But,what the Hell,enjoy the moment of a fall infront. If Hon Karooro indeed

chances to mean business and the operation not selectively applied,this would even generate several chains of jobs ranging from artisans(builders, plumbers, brick layers mm), inspectors, cleaners, engineers, material suppliers & transporters mm., osv

And not to forget psychological and ergonomical aspects.

Yesterday, I pointed out this thing about railway station plattforms that

are not responsive to this Act Hon Karooro is lifting.

SEVERAL CHAINS OF JOBBS HERE!!!!!!!!

Noc'la gaumoy

 

"WE FORM THE CULTURE THAT FORMS US"….noc'la gaumoy.

Wonderful Hon. Mary Karooro Okurut - this is over due and Uganda for once need to observe international standards of ; work place, buildings, hygiene some schools, hospitals, government offices are so teribly dilapidated etc imagine that Hilton loose its occupation since the hotel is being occupied in an unfinished state.

In fact that is what is lacking to bring our institution to international standards and ISO certification. see KCCA offices top most!
