WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY T.M. PITMAN OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 20th JANUARY 2009

Question

Given that many St. Helier No. 1 district residents within the La Collette/Havre Des Pas area continue to complain of health problems that they attribute to air-borne pollutions from the composting facility, would the Minister outline how many man hours have been lost over the past twelve months due to ill health among workers directly employed at the site?

Answer

Over the past 12 months no man hours have been lost relating to air-borne pollutants.

During the period in question, two members of staff have been on sick leave. One member of staff was off work from 28/1/08 until 15/8/08 and was medically retired. The second member of staff was on sick leave from 28/05/08 until 08/10/08 and has since returned to work. Neither illness was related to air-borne pollutants.
