I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) No other
actions, as the WorkSafe division of the Department of Commerce selected the
enforcement action considered appropriate, which was prosecution, in accordance
with its compliance policy.
(2) Prior to
the accident, WorkSafe conducted four investigations in relation to workplaces
of the J&P Group Pty Ltd. WorkSafe also issued a safety and health alert to
the general community in 2000 in relation to the hazards from coiled steel at
scrap-metal yards.
