The OSHA organized the training for people with disabilities in the district to equip them with the knowledge to avoid possible accidents at workplaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government through its entities such as OSHA and in partnership with various stakeholders will continue providing various trainings, such as health and security at workplaces. We will also empower them economically by finding markets for their goods and ensure that there are enabling
\nenvironment,\u201d the deputy minister stated.<\/p>\n

Ms Ikupa insisted that the training to different groups on self-protection against risks at workplaces was crucial in enabling them to work at safe places.<\/p>\n

Commenting, OSHA Acting Chief Executive Officer Khadija Mwenda said the training was part of the authority\u2019s strategy to reach out to various social groups in providing the knowledge that will
\nmake them conduct their activities while adhering to health and safety regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not the first time for us to conduct such training to people with disabilities. We
\nhave done this in other regions like Kagera and Dar es Salaam. Let me assure you that these trainings will be ongoing in several parts of the country,\u201d Ms Mwenda noted.<\/p>\n

Some participants of the training commended the authority for organizing the training to social groups with special needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
