Construction company Adco Group Pty Limited and façade contractor Colab Building Tech Pty Ltd each face a single charge under section 26(1) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act for failing to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, that a workplace under its management or control was safe and without risks to health.
WorkSafe alleges that it was reasonably practicable to have a competent person check the quality assurance documents provided for an imported steel truss to ensure that it had been welded in accordance with the design drawings and fabrication requirements.
The matters are listed for a filing hearing at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 11 November 2024.
