| The Ministry for Social Policy wishes to inform employers, | Health and Safety Officers in the Private and Public enterprise, and the general public that inspections on workplaces performed by the Occupational Health and Safety Unit (OHSU) within the Department of Industrial and Employment Relations are done through authorised personnel who are issued with a warrant by the Director of Industrial and Employment Relations. |

Employers, Health & Safety Officers and the general public who wish to obtain more information, verify the authenticity of a workplace visit or report an incident are kindly asked to contact the Head of the OHSU on: Tel: 247677/8; Fax: 232909 or e-mail: margau@maltanet.net.
