Workcover Licence to perfom high risk work!

MTS247 · 23rd September 2009, 06:32 PM

Anyone else get a letter from workcover asking you to fill out a form so you can keep your EWP or fork ticket?

They call it a licence to perform high risk work, the only prerequisite is to give them $45, oh yeah that will make it safer!
