I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1) WorkSafe
has completed its investigation. A formal report was not provided; however, an
email was sent to the managing director of the Pilbara Institute, outlining the
outcome of the investigation.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) Two areas
were identified for improvement for the Pilbara Institute. The first area is
the timeliness of remediation work, and it is recommended that the institute
streamline these practices as far as practical with the agencies involved. The
second relates to earlier communication with staff, including staff access to
mould experts.
(4) Pilbara
Institute has implemented a mould management plan that addresses the
identification and response to mould situations and water ingress within the
institute. Adherence to this plan will meet the recommendations from WorkSafe.
