The Ministry of Labor starts the investigation into the death of the fireman

According to a representative of the ministry, the Ministry of Labor has initiated an investigation of the death of the 20-year-old fireman Voshaun Manbodh as work health and safety material.

Manbodh suffered injuries in February of this year during the fire fighting efforts on the Schools Schools Schools Blaze. According to the first reports, the young fireman was in the building when a wall collapsed on him. He was brought to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he died a few days later.

The ministry's professional and health office has started to investigate the investigation, which examines the circumstances that lead to the fatal violations of Manbodh during the service. “We treat this as deaths in the workplace and have started our investigations to determine whether there were violations of the health and security standards of the labor,” said the Sunday Stobroek.

In the meantime, members of the von Manbodh family said when they were contacted that they were not aware that an investigation by the Ministry of Labor had started but expressed their support for the probe. “We are for me everything that contributes to making clarity and improving security for others,” said a relative.

The step of the ministry adds to the continued test of the death of the fireman, which was already a detailed internal examination by GPHC after concerns his family.

As already reported by Stobroek News, the GPHC said that Manbodh died of secondary complications associated with traumatic injuries that were complicated by a chronic illness. The hospital had ordered an independent examination in his care after his family had complained.

The GPHC report showed no evidence of supporting claims that Manbodh had fallen out of his hospital bed. Instead, the independent committee came to the conclusion that his death resulted in “a complex complication from his acute trauma in connection with underlying chronic diseases”, with several bleeding ulcers being identified as the cause.

The committee also referred to systemic gaps in trauma, interdisciplinary communication, documentation and discharge procedure, but was not indicated for intentional negligence.

In response to the results, GPHC announced several corrective measures, including mandatory interdisciplinary case tests for trauma patients, improved escalation protocols and improved training in best practice for trauma management.

Manbodh was put to rest last month. Manbodh has been the first firefighter for many years to be a fire after injuries.
