In many cases, young people are going into jobs without knowing their rights and without knowing what’s unsafe. Companies still don’t care even after $300,000 fines.

Law change means that PCBO’s can now be held criminally responsible.
If the manager is a PCBO (very likely) this shit is really serious.
Does a second incident make it worse for the company and management?
Worksafe will investigate and determine that.
It will really depend on what is known by the management.
If it common practice to bypass safety systems, then yes it is worse.
If the operator went out of their way to get around things, then it won’t be.
But also, if there was massive pressure for high production numbers, that will also be considered a significant factor.
The detail really masters in these cases.
Good explanation but I wish that staff would quit in high numbers when companies value production targets more than safety. Nobody should have to die.
