"So I can't provide you with any details."The source who revealed the Worksafe visit said: "A Government Health and Safety Inspector was recently on the island and this gave everyone the impression the operation was safe. He didn't raise a single concern."

"Worksafe are acting like they never went there and only approved the tourism operation on paper. Maybe they should now be explaining to everyone what the inspector was doing there? What did he check and approve? I'm not blaming him but why haven't Worksafe admitted he was there?" "There is a big $2000 fine that applies on a daily basis and we will expect them to keep fining people, because it will be extremely messy for all of us if there's a death undertaken by an operator who's not certified," Mr Key said.
