GMA network may be penalized over Eddie Garcia accident — Bello

In an interview over CNN Philippines, Bello said there must be an Occupational Safety and Health officer in every establishment to make the work place safe and compliant with health standards, as stated under the OSH Law.OSHC to check on accident which cost the life of Eddie Garcia

“Iinspeksyunin nila kung tama ‘yung pagkahawak kay Mr. Eddie Garcia. Kung merong safety and health officer, baka nabigyan ng tamang treatment when he had that accident,” Bello told CNN Philippines. Should GMA Network be found liable for any violation, the labor chief said the OSHC can file administrative charges against the network even without a complaint from Garcia’s family.

The network may be slapped with a monetary fine or “suspensions of operations”, depending on how grave the lapses were, Bello added.In a statement last June 10, GMA Network said it is looking into the absence of a medical team on the set.On Thursday, the multi-awarded actor passed away at the Makati Medical Center after he suffered severe cervical fracture or broken neck.Garcia sustained the fracture after he reportedly tripped and fell while shooting a television series in Tondo, Manila.

Sumasawsaw na ang gobyerno. Let GMA and the family resolve their own problem. They just have to refer to the contract signed between GMA and Garcia stating their responsibilities.
