The issues addressed by the prohibition notices cover a range of areas including:
· risk of falls from heights;
· condition of woodworking machines;
· plant guards
· unsatisfactory repairs;
· environmental tobacco smoke;
· water seeping into ceiling cavities;
· overloading double adapters; and
· inadequate rollover protection.
(c) A prohibition notice is a written direction issued by a WorkSafe inspector prohibiting the carrying on of any activity that the inspector believes involves or will involve a risk of imminent and serious injury or harm to the health of any person. On issuing a prohibition notice, the Inspector will remain at the workplace until the employer is advised of the notice and the prohibited activity has ceased. Therefore all prohibition notices have full compliance.
