Are people being complacent post-lockdown? WorkSafe Vic are reporting 7 serious incidents resulting in:

  • 1 death
  • 5 injuries (including 1 serious)
  • 6 ongoing inquiries

in just 6 months since November 2020. {green}:shocked:

There is definitely an element of carelessness creeping in. Worksafe are reporting a similar spike in fall incidents in recent months. Very avoidable and very sad.
