    "content": "The implementation status of this recommendation is that: (a) The company has issued requisite Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to all employees as per the requirement of the Work Injury Benefits Act No. 13 of 2007. Recommendation No. 4 is that the management of the Kwale International Sugar Company Limited should provide proper sanitation, food and water to its employees. The implementation status is that the company has constructed enough toilets and hand washing basins for its workers thus ensuring that the workers do not queue for long periods to go to the toilet or hand washing facilities. In this case, the sanitary facilities for men are 27 toilets, 22 hand washing basins, 11 urinals and 5 bathrooms. For the female employees, they have 15 toilets, 11 hand washing basins and three bathrooms. Secondly, water bowsers continued to fetch clean drinking water for the employees working in the field on a daily basis. Third, they also have a staff canteen in place that offers meals to employees at subsidised rates and is payable through the check-off system. Forth, since the global spread of COVID-19, the company continues to implement or adhere to the measures and guidelines that have been put in place by the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO). In the foregoing, the company increased water points and hand washing facilities in strategic areas of the company premises as well as continuous availing of hand washing soaps, toiletries and alcohol-based sanitisers to the employees for use. The fifth recommendation was that the management of the company should provide better alternative modes of transport for the employees and further, provide separate compartments for tools and workers in the mode of transport. During the visit, we were able to confirm that there were four trucks, four vans and four minibuses which had been modified to provide comfortable spaced seats for the employees to comply with the traffic requirement and the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works protocols for public and private transport.
