A Queensland bus company boss has expressed his remorse for failing in his workplace health and safety obligations to two young mechanics killed in a traffic crash on the Sunshine Coast.

CDC South East Queensland has been fined for its role in the deaths of two young mechanics.

Instead, the company asked the pair to fix the bus on the roadside, where they were struck and fatally injured by a BMW.CDC South East Queensland Pty Ltd faced Maroochydore Magistrates Court this morning, after pleading guilty to one charge of failure to comply with health and safety duty.

But she said the consequences of the company's workplace safety failings, outlined in a victim impact statement provided by Mr Bartlett's parents, had to be taken into account. "If CDC had a stringent roadside breakdown safety procedure for their mechanics, our dear son Aaron and Darren and Lisa son Lleyton would still be here with us," Mr Pitt said.
