Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: The Situation in Meat Processing Plants

Dr. Sharon McGuinness:

If there has been an injury or an accident in a workplace, it has to be reported by the employer. Accordingly, the employer is identified in that case, meaning it is not anonymised.

When somebody makes a complaint, obviously we would prefer if they identified themselves and the individual employer. Sometimes people do not choose to do that. We will respond appropriately. If we do not have the name of an employer or the name of an individual to follow up with, then that is more difficult for us.
