The Occupational Health and Safety Authority, with the help of the European Agency, recently organised a seminar entitled ‘Prevention against fire at the workplace’. Representatives of public entities and private companies who supply and install fire safety devices identified a number of problems in this area that needed to be solved after which the same participants recommended a number of feasible solutions.

The seminar was also addressed by Health Minister Joe Cassar, who commended the Occupational Health and Safety Authority for its initiative to bring together a section of civil society to discuss issues of common interest and common importance and to try to identify those solutions which might decrease dangers usually caused by fire hazards.

Christa Sedlatshek, director of the European Agency, who was on a short official visit to Malta on the authority’s 10th anniversary, said there was mutual respect and excellent cooperation between the OHSA and the European Agency.
