Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>OCCUPATIONAL Safety and Health Authority (OSHA) plans to provide training on safety and health to at least 6,500 workers in the oil and gas sector countrywide.<\/p>\n

The countrywide programme started in Kinondoni district in Dar es Salaam over the weekend before extending to other regions.<\/p>\n

In Kinondoni, the District Commissioner Godwin Gondwe appealed to beneficiaries of the training to be ambassadors to spread knowledge they acquired to their workplaces in order to reduce accidents at workplaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlan to educate 6,500 workers across the country is a big thing. The OSHA deserves to be congratulated considering that training is intended to protect workers and customers who seek services from fuel stations,\u201d Mr Gondwe said.<\/p>\n

The District Commissioner further noted that the training will protect investors in the oil and gas sector from fire accidents, thus enabling sustainable investment for national development.<\/p>\n

On her part, OSHA\u2019s Chief Executive Officer Khadija Mwenda said the training was part of implementing the 2003 Act of safety and Health at the workplace.<\/p>\n

She said the authority provide training to representatives of workers at fuel depots and petrol stations countrywide.<\/p>\n

The training came after the OSHA concluded inspections at those places and identified various challenges on safety and health,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe law requires that every workplace should have a worker who has been trained on how to provide first aid to his or her fellow workers when injured at workplaces or get other health challenges,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Mr Kassima Mtema, one of the beneficiaries of the training, said through the training he has acquired knowledge on how to provide first aid at his workplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter this training I am now capable of serving my fellow workers who get challenge of safety and health at workplaces such as victims of fire accidents and others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A total of 400 workers have been trained in Kinondoni district as the OSHA starts the countrywide training marathon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
