To reiterate what the Minister said, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, there is an obligation on all employers to provide a safe system of work and a safe place of work and methods of reporting concerns that would arise in the workplace. That option is open to anybody, even a member of the public, to report. It can be reported online and while people must provide their details, those details remains confidential. If there is anyone listening who is concerned about a workplace situation, there are options available. There is very strong legislation in place to protect workers in the workplace and it is improving all the time.
