THE MYSTERY OF A DEATH AT SEA
The link to this important story is here:
http://www.todaytonightadelaide.com.au/?page=Story&StoryID=1337
It is hard to imagine how an investigation and the subsequent determinations into a workplace death can be allowed to become so chaotic and perplexing.
I simply can’t fathom an instance where a Policeman would not blink an eye if the street where a car accident had caused a death did not match Read More >>>
CULPABILITY AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
This situation at the Adelaide Desalination Plant just keeps getting uglier as time goes on. The contemptuous disregard for occupational health and safety legislation by the very people we rely on to implement these laws has become the saddest irony of all. It is the classic case of; Do as I say, not as I do.
Freddy would have to be deaf, mute as well as blind, to think the warnings of safety hazards regardin Read More >>>
SAFETY ATTITUDES – WHAT HAS CHANGED?
I would very much like to take a newspaper, walk through the doors of Parliament House and slap the thing over a select few craniums – more than a few actually!
Seriously, when it comes to Occupational Health and Safety, not much has changed in the 7 years since VOID came to be. We had such high hopes. People were saying the right things and all the buzz words were being cleverly utilised to pacify the grie Read More >>>

SHAME ON YOU PETER HURLEY
I’m a massive fan of 5AA’s Leon Byner so when I heard him intro a segment yesterday that involved Occupational Health and Safety, of course I’m all ears! His introduction blurb was superb as always. He spoke about the need for a rigorous random workplace inspection protocol followed by the enforcement of the legislation – exactly right … but then he introduced his guest and it all went So Read More >>>
VOID LUNCH – DEC 11 2011
VOID LUNCH
SUNDAY DECEMBER 11th 2011 (12.00pm)
GLANVILLE HOTEL
50 THE CAUSEWAY, GLANVILLE SA
So much of what has happened this year at VOID has been behind the scenes. Plugging away through large boxes of files and documents, relating to an investigation of sorts. Another workplace death. Another matter where the circumstances are anything but clear and where there is a family left unresolved while the Read More >>>

LABOR’S CORE VALUES! REALLY?
The above snippet is taken from South Australian Parliament HANSARD – from our Legislative Council in September 2011.
We agree with Minister Wortley in this comment. The functions of SafeWork SA are of very high importance and the work undertaken needs to be of a very high standard. If that were more the reality, perhaps there would be less wasted life. Of those lives wasted, perhaps with a higher stan Read More >>>

AN EPIC FAIL ON DESAL PLANT SAFETY
The Parliamentary Select Committee On the Lonsdale-Based Adelaide Desalination Plant has been hearing evidence for many months now in relation to matters of the Desal plant.
Tuesday 15th November 2011 at 11.30am the committee will sit again. It’s not going to be easy for anyone to discredit or question the testimony of the brave man who will sit before the committee tomorrow. There will be evidence presented Read More >>>
ADELAIDE SAFETY EXPO 2011
Deep in the trenches of my mind there’s a bundle of nerves having party at my expense. I’ve been frantically tweaking with last minute changes to bring REFLECTIONS a fresh new look. Once again however, what I assumed might have been a fairly undemanding task has ended up being the exact opposite. Not to worry – it’s done now and I can breathe again.
For those who have an interest in OHS Read More >>>
