(1) Can the Minister state how many improvement notices, the specific text of each improvement notice, breaches of regulations or Acts that have been identified at this site in the last three years?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
(3) Will Worksafe investigate Kalgoorlie Cement Works practice of allowing untrained children under the age of 18 years to operate equipment such as a forklift/bobcat loader?
(4) If no to (3), why not?
(5) Is it correct that part of this document states ‘I have formed the opinion that you are contravening regulation 3.98(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations 1996 and the grounds for my opinion are oxy/acetylene manifold blow pipe sets are not fitted with flash arresters’?
(6) If no to (5), can the Minister state what specifically in part was stated in the document?
(7) What is the penalty for contravening the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations?
(8) Has the site been recently inspected to ensure compliance with this improvement notice and all other legislation pertaining to the site?
