The Union Ħaddiema Magħqudin yesterday launched a campaign on occupational safety with the slogan More Action, Less Talk.

Union secretary Gejtu Vella said the campaign is designed to arouse a national conscience over the serious accidents and deaths which occurred at construction sites in recent weeks.

The union is insisting on the enforcement of regulations that penalise those who are found guilty of failing to observe provisions on the safety of workers at their place of work.

It is also insisting that the inspectorate of the Health and Safety Authority be adequately equipped to be able to regularly inspect construction sites.
