That's the blanket charge they use on every case, no matter whose fault ... beat the horse with the same stick.
Seems the workers failed. No matter how much paperwork, procedures or BS when an accident occurs the employer cops that breach, period.
Fools have the right to say no if the EWP didn't reach, and any fool with a blue card knows you dont go 5m unrestrained, and so on goes the circle. Fool worker=boss fine when the shit hits the fan.
Yes, I'd like to see where the workers entitlements diminish for their stupidity, and where the employer gets compensated for the costs, lost productivity and fines etc.
Post them, lets see, lets see if it's a fair system or the typical "bosses fault" system. Coz right now it's so one sided the planet is listing.
I may know nothing about tunnel boring, the equipment or what's involved. I hire an "expert" to do it, he then has an accident and I get fined, great system. Means in this day and age even those trained in their fields pass the buck.
So, bring the facts, till then, my mind is solid on what I see and hear ALL THE TIME.
