Mark McCabe replied to Kevin Jones's discussion 'Clarification on trench incident'
The short answer is that I was misquoted.  Basically, Worksafe was satisfied with the action that was taken in response to the incident at the time.

I think the general principle that applies is that you cannot sub-contract out your work safety responsibilities.   If company x sub-contracts a task to company y, then company y has an obvious work safety responsibility in relation to its…

Mark McCabe replied to Kevin Jones's discussion 'Gungahlin Drive Bridge Collapse'
Hi Kevin   I am chasing up for you the issue of public availability of this report.  This report, of course, is primarily about the contracting issues and not the OHS issues.  The latter are the subject of the WorkSafe ACT…

I still think that despite many people signing in the site it is a great forum but under utilised. Not sure that some of the comments are all that relevent but that's what people are about. I even tried to be contraversial to see what reaction…

Colin Emerson replied to Mark McCabe's discussion 'IMPORTANT - Ads on the Forum'
Hi Mark, It is strange - almost as if this issue was ignored - but since publishing this forum there has been an increase of the promotion of training etc on the forum pages. I believe that these things can only be promoted on one's own Groups…

Good morning Mark Mmmmm I see what you mean about advertising "creeping" in. I was always of the belief that the forum was to pass around ideas, thoughts and the various issues regarding E&HOS (after all they are all interconnected).…

IMPORTANT - Ads on the Forum

I have noticed that some barely-disguised advertisements are starting to creep onto the Forum's pages.  While they are not at a level yet to be too annoying (or are they?  what do you think?), if we allow their growth to go unchecked they could become so, possibly crowding out genuine debate and information sharing.How do people feel about this?We have the power to 'moderate' (i.e. remove) these.  While I am not generally in favour of censorship, the Site Rules, which have been up there from…See More

G'day Mark, I'm having trouble loading photos from my computer. I am getting an error on page note. I have also tried emailing them and they have not come through. Do you have any suggestions or is the currently a system error I am not aware of. Thanks Bunja
