Labour Ministry probing deadly incident at rice mill

The Labour Ministry has joined the investigations into the death of two men while at work at the Trans Rice Mill in Mahaicony late on Friday.

The two men, Shaquille Butts and Gousham Narine reportedly fell off a scaffold after being electrocuted while executing their work duties.

A part of the scaffold had reportedly come into a contact with an electric wire, shocking one of the men.

The other man attempted to help his colleague and he too was shocked and they both fell from the scaffold.

The Labour Ministry investigators are examining the cause of the incident and additional details are being probed.

The Guyana Police Force opened its own investigation into the workplace deaths on Friday evening and is continuing its probe.
