As part of the Workshop conducted in Kenya, a visit was organised to the De la Rue plant to inspect working conditions and observe the way in which health and safety is practised in the workplace.



Del la Rue is a multi national security printing company that operates in Africa, UK, USA,Malta and Sri Lanka



During the visit we were given the opportunty to meet with Management and union delegates where we spoke about the health and safety processes in place, as well as the downsizing that will occur as a result of work being moved to other plants within Del la Rue.
