EMPTA Meets with the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH)
Yesterday, EMPTA held a critical meeting with the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) to discuss recent concerns over the substantial rise in licensing fees for facilities requiring a Certificate of Fitness. This increase has affected our members, especially those managing warehouses, factories, and workshops, adding an unexpected financial strain on operations.
Key Discussion Points:
- Licensing Fee Increase: The hike in fees for facilities with certification requirements has raised significant concerns among EMPTA members, impacting overall operational costs
- Industry Representation: EMPTA emphasized the need for fair and sustainable fee structures to avoid burdening members in the automotive parts industry.
- Path Forward: EMPTA remains committed to advocating for our members and working with DOSH to explore solutions that align with industry needs, helping to relieve the financial pressure this fee increase has caused.
Through continued dialogue with DOSH and relevant authorities, EMPTA is dedicated to finding resolutions that protect the interests of our members and foster a more supportive environment for the industry.
