Unions to organize rally in Rose Hill on May Day

“We will then join the general rally at Beau Bassin,” he added.

Chuttoo was speaking at a press conference in Port Louis on Wednesday.

CTSP is organising a series of activities including a tripartite exhibition that the Labour Ministry is hosting in collaboration with the Municipality of Port Louis on April 28-29. A workshop, ‘Guidelines on Risk Assessment’, will also be organised on April 28.

Chuttoo said that the former Risk Assessment was conducted in 1994 following a request from the union and added that it was called the Health and Safety Audit at that time. He stressed that so far the union has always demanded for the law to incorporate the Risk Assessment, which is fundamental.

In 2007, the law asked for mandatory Risk Assessment. He said it is regrettable that the law provides no guidelines on how the Risk Assessment should be applied. He, however, said he is satisfied with CTSP’s struggle for the advancement of women.
