$143,000 Penalty For Injuring Workers’ Health
An employer food company is digging deep after being fined $110,000 and ordered to pay workers $33,000 compensation.
Fumes from an LPG powered forklift poisoned 11 workers. The employer has now instigated an electric forklift only policy in enclosed spaces.
Could this have been you? We recommend you regularly review your workplace to identify hazards and then take steps to eliminate, isolate or minimise them.
If you are unsure what to do we have a simple Safety Action Plan you can follow.
We also can assist you with policies and procedures to help make sure you keep your money in your business working for you rather than paying fines for health and safety breaches.
