(a) WorkSafe inspections and compliance monitoring activities at the Forrestfield-Airport Link project have been against the main contractor, Salini-Impreglio-NRW joint venture (Salini). Salini was awarded the contractual responsibility for the design, construction and maintenance of the Forrestfield-Airport Link site in April 2016. Notices are issued to employers with reference to the location of their registered business, not where their work is conducted.
Salini has been issued the following from WorkSafe:
2017: 17 verbal directions, 14 improvement notices and 1 prohibition notice.
2018: 19 verbal directions, 5 improvement notices and 1 prohibition notice.
2019 (YTD): Nil verbal direction, 1 improvement notice and 0 prohibition notices
(b) Nil for 2017, 2018 and 2019 (YTD)
