Malaysia's Human Resource Ministry checks farm workers at 75 poultry farms
MELAKA : Malaysia's Human Resource Ministry inspected 75 poultry farms nationwide over the last two weeks to ensure the health and safety of farm workers following the outbreak of the bird flu in surrounding countries.
Dr Fong Chan Onn said his ministry was cooperating closely with the Health and Agriculture ministries to ensure that the bird flu virus is kept out of poultry farms and aviaries.
"My ministry has provided guidelines and the procedures that employers should follow to ensure farmhands are not affected by the bird flu virus, if any," he told reporters after opening a health seminar on Saturday.
He said the Department of Safety and Occupational Health (DOSH) would continue with its farm inspections in collaboration with the relevant ministries. - CNA
