The Ministry of Labour through the Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services(Doshs) has requested members of the public to report suspected illegal gas services in their areas.

In a public notice dated February 20, the ministry urged the public to avail complaints so that action can be taken early enough.
"Doshs wishes to request workers and members of the public to give information on any suspected illegal gas filling processes and any other highly hazardous work that may be taking place within their work premises, neighbourhood or residential areas," the notice read.
Additionally, the notice asked gas-filling facility owners to apply for compliance help to secure their facilities voluntarily.
The ministry says that the information provided will treated with confidence and those reporting will remain anonymous.
The information can be reported through email at [email protected] or through phone 0791571344 or through X @DOSHS_KE.
According to the Ministry of Labour, this directive is a provision of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 2007 which mandates the protection of all workers.
"To effectively achieve the mandate of OSHA 2007, Doshs relies on information obtained through our inspections, reports, and complaints among other sources," the Ministry reports.
The Embakasi fire tragedy left at least 11 people dead and more than 300 residents injured.
