"We call upon employers in the charcoal industry to stop exploiting workers. There is a need to have a clear guideline to regulate the condition of workers because their health is at risk. Many farmers in the charcoal industry are behaving as if they own the country. The workers are really suffering in this industry. We must create a safe and healthy environment for these workers," Hango said.
Hango was speaking at the commemoration of World Day for Safety and Health at Work at Walvis Bay recently, under the theme: 'A safe and healthy working environment: a fundamental principle and right at work'. Union members, employees and employers from various workplaces started the event by marching from the Kuisebmond fire station to the Walvis Bay municipality, where they were addressed by labour industry stakeholders.
"Workers are the insurance of economic activity, but illness of workplaces must be looked at. The mining industry is especially dangerous and can easily shorten a lifespan. We need to hold hands and not just jump at retrenching those who talk too much, saying that they are tarnishing the name of your company. We must see how we can reduce accidents in the workplace. Quality of work comes with education. Most minerals that workers are dealing with can easily explode when accidentally mixed.
