I have ordered officials of the occupational safety and health center and the DOLE regional office in Davao to immediately look into possible violation of some safety and health standards by NCCC mall management in its operations,\u201d said DOLE Secretary Silvestre Bello III in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe findings of the investigation shall be submitted directly to me for purposes of determining responsibility and for appropriation legal action,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Bello said they are ready to provide emergency employment assistance to workers affected by the blaze.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the meantime, I have also directed the DOLE regional office to make an inventory and assessment of the affected workers and employees of the mall so that they may be provided with emergency employment. The employment assistance will be for a period of one month,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bello said DOLE will look into other means by which DOLE can extend further assistance to the victims of the tragic incident.<\/p>\n<p>He also expressed sympathy to the families of the victims. \u201cMy heart bleeds with the bereaved families of the employees who died in the tragic fire in Davao City.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The casualties are employees of American firm SSI when a fire engulfed a shopping mall from Saturday morning until early dawn Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0&#8212; The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) will be looking into the possible violation of safety and health standards &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":141640,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,95],"tags":[40300,9414,30648],"class_list":["post-141637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-news-ph","tag-davao-mall","tag-department-of-labor-and-employment","tag-safety-violations","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141637"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141637\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/141640"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
