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.
Mark McCabe replied to Bunja Smith's discussion 'SWMS'
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…
Brian MacLeod replied to Mark McCabe's discussion 'What do you think of this site?'
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.

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…
Brian MacLeod replied to Mark McCabe's discussion 'IMPORTANT - Ads on the Forum'
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.

I reckon its a great site and also a great forum for opinions, discussion and contacts - well done. The only problem I have is I'm still trying to put pics on here with no success, but will figure it out in time.

Bunja Smith replied to Mark McCabe's discussion 'What do you think of this site?'

I agree with the other comments and personally I feel that a lot of people are still discovering how to use our great forum.
I monitor it regularly and…
