I refer to the letter entitled Nasty fall in Bugibba restaurant by Leonard Schembri (TMIS, 18 June), which was also printed in another Sunday newspaper.

Without entering into the merits of the case, and in particular the OHSA’s role in such incidents involving safety to the general public, kindly note that the telephone number quoted by Mr Schembri is not assigned to the OHSA.

I can empathise with the reader feeling frustrated that he could not get in touch with an entity he wanted to contact. However, I would like to point out that Maltacom has already been asked to rectify the erroneous telephone number listed in their records. Regrettably, it seems that the situation persists through no fault of the OHSA.

In fact, the OHSA can be contacted on telephone number 2124-7677/8 or in case of emergency on mobile number 9949-6786, or one can also send an e-mail to [email protected]
