The company pleaded guilty to one charge of "failing to provide and maintain plant, systems of work and working environments that ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of the employer's workers, resulting in the serious injury of a worker."
This is why the Westray Act isn’t doing its intended job. Now it’s about how much is your life worth to the bottom line of the company. Yes criminal negligence is much harder to prove vs. OHS violation, but too many companies are walking away scot free when workers die.
Liberals conservatives
If you watch the video, the lady in the wheelchair that the police horse trampled was a white supremacist. A few broken bones can be repaired, but she needs to be brought to justice for the stress caused to that poor horse having to trip over her
Pluming of the roof is hazardous.
