A team from Guyana’s Ministry of Labour recently visited the Noble Bob Douglas drillship as part of ongoing efforts to ensure the well-being and rights of workers in the country’s oil and gas industry.
The team, including Occupational Safety and Health Officer Nazmoon Jafarally Prittipaul and Labour Officer Martin Murray, conducted a physical inspection to verify compliance with the OSH Act 99:06, International Safety Standards, and Guyana’s Labour Laws.
