Workplace fatality in Kapunda
SafeWork SA is investigating a workplace fatality that occurred at J T Johnson and Sons Pty Ltd at Kapunda.
SafeWork inspectors will investigate the circumstances surrounding the fatality to determine any parties that have a potential responsibility for workplace safety and whether there have been any alleged breaches of the Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Act 1986.
The agency last month laid a charge in the industrial court of an alleged breach of Section 19 (1) of the Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Act 1986 in relation to a workplace death at J T Johnson and Sons Pty Ltd on Sunday, 18 December 2011.
The investigation into the current incident will also explore any possible relationship between these two workplace fatalities.
