Lawyers and Consultants
Director Responsibilities
Directors, officers and managers of companies across Australia must be aware
of the stringent nature of duties imposed on them by OH&S legislation. The recent
case of WorkCover Authority of New South Wales (Inspector Dubois) v James
Nicholas Denson, JB Metal Roofing Pty Limited and Garry James Denson (24 May 2007) imposed fines of $35,700 and $20,000 on two NSW directors whose OH&S
failures led to the death of a 16-year-old labourer in his first week of work. The company
was also fined $200,000. The high profile case has prompted debate over the possible
introduction of industrial manslaughter laws.
The first prosecution under the Victorian 2004 OH&S Act was handed down in May 2007. The case, R v Star Track Express Pty Ltd, involved a fatality and the company was fined $200,000. Despite having OH&S systems in place, the court found that they were not adequately enforced. WorkSafe have indicated that they may appeal the fine as being manifestly inadequate. The possible penalties under the Victorian OH&S Act will increase to $991,080 for a company or $198,216 for an individual as at 1 July 2007.
