A woman whose husband was killed in a workplace accident complained to us that she had heard nothing about the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development’s investigation of the incident for more than a year. She was concerned that it was already too late for any charges to be laid under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. We arranged for Ministry officials to contact her directly, and they explained that due to the pandemic, the legislation now included a six-month extension of the window for potential charges.
