Dump Truck OHS Violations Lead to Worker’s Death and $65,000 in Fines

A construction firm and management company were fined $25,000 for a pair of OHS violations for an incident in which a dump truck was backed at the water’s edge of the working face without appropriate measures being in place resulting in a fatal injury. An individual, presumably a company owner but perhaps a supervisor, was also fined $40,000 for his role in the incident. All 3 defendants were also hit with non-monetary creative sentence penalties [Site Logic Construction Management, Foreshore Property Specialists, David Seaboyer].
