Workplace manslaughter sentencing - a warning for civil contractors

In a high-risk industry like civil construction, safety is non-negotiable and must always be the number one operational priority - as well as a corporate value.

The recent sentencing of a Victorian construction business – whose $1.3 million fine for causing a workplace death was more than doubled to $3 million on appeal – is a timely reminder of the potential consequences of serious incidents occurring on worksites.
