The union says an employee at the power station’s operating department tested positive for Covid-19.
“NUM is disturbed and saddened by the conduct of Koeberg Power Station management. Koeberg Power station management does not respect the lives of its employees and the priority of the management is production over the life of our members,” the organisation said in a statement on Tuesday. “In the case of the employee who tested positive, the area was never immediately barricaded so that it can be cleaned or disinfected within 48 hours. Employees were still allowed in the workplace which had possible contamination of the virus.”
“The employees who come into contact are still not self-quarantined. They are still required to attend work as per their shift roster.
