Offer employers tax rebate for PPE

THE National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) wishes to propose to the Finance Ministry to seriously consider proposals for helping industries and employers to promote occupational safety and health at the workplace in order to further reduce accidents at workplaces.

This could be done through granting a tax rebate for imported Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Budget 2015 to make them more affordable to employers and made available for use by their employees.
