Court-enforceable undertaking for Asciano
Comcare has accepted a court-enforceable undertaking from Asciano Services (Asciano) after the employer allegedly failed to observe its duties under federal workplace safety laws.
The undertaking is a result of a Comcare investigation into an incident in November 2007 where a 76 tonne Vulcan mobile crane tipped over at the Adelaide Freight Terminal.
The investigation found that Asciano failed to take all reasonably practicable steps to provide and maintain a safe working environment.
Enforceable undertakings commit employers to do more than minimum compliance with workplace safety legislation.
