Kill a worker. Go to jail.
Pass Industrial Manslaughter laws now!
Why is this important?
The lack of any meaningful consequence for companies and bosses who kill workers is disgraceful.
A $40,000 fine for an employer who kills someone by clearly failing to operate within health and safety laws is completely out of step with the most basic of community expectations around accountability under the law.
There must be real and meaningful consequences for companies and CEOs who chose to put profit ahead of the lives of West Australians.
