Safety Warning for Roofers
A warning for roofers after WorkSafe recently prosecuted a Victorian industrial roofing business for two offences against the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
In the first incident in January 2014, an employee was injured when the boom lift he was driving went over a 30 centimetre drop in the slab, throwing him out of the bucket and onto the ground.
The second incident in March 2014 involved an employee being observed walking along the edge of a roof without fall protection.
In April 2015 at Werribee Magistrate Court, the business was fined a total of $13,750.00 for both incidents and ordered to pay $3,317.00 in costs.
