PM calls for heads to roll following release of Public Inquiry report on death of Jean Paul Sofia

Prime Minister Robert Abela said he expects those implicated as responsible for failings which led to the death of Jean Paul Sofia to “shoulder responsibility,” by 4:30pm on Wednesday.

Robert Abela was answering questions from journalists following the publication of the Public Inquiry report into the death of Jean Paul Sofia.

The report highlighted a number of issues including the fact that the Chairman of the Occupational Health and Safety Authority (OHSA) as someone who “should consider his position.”  The inquiry board said it was inappropriate for the OHSA to be led by the same person for over 20 years. It suggested that the chief executive should hold a fixed term.
