Australia's biggest meat company has an appalling track record on safety, repeatedly failing to protect its workers from death or serious injuries. Employees and family members tell Four Corners their stories.

"The sky was glowing red day and night," Heather Ranclaud said.

"The wind changed, the grassfire took off. It went under his loader and his machine was engulfed in fire," she said. Warwick's family wasn't told about his accident until late that evening, depriving them of the chance to say goodbye."That's something that sticks with us, we didn't get that chance to say goodbye while he was conscious."JBS pleaded guilty to exposing its workers to a risk of death or serious injury and was convicted in November 2020.

"I feel it was negligence that, for goodness sake, they shouldn't have been out slashing in a heat wave," Heather said.
