Marie Louis Coleiro Preca, Labour Party spokesperson for social solidarity, said the government should look urgently into its policies in the occupational health and safety situation after the death of yet another worker in an occupational accident. They needed to have a political commitment in the sector, she said. Unfortunately the government had so far relied on EU funds to develop the sector. More vigorous investment was needed not only to avoid deaths but also the many accidents that were occurring at places of work.
