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[…]

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.

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[…]
