Court Summary - at a glance
It was reasonably practicable for the defendant to:
- engage with Rigweld Engineering Services Limited and Culham Engineering Company Limited to ensure they had an effective safe system of work for assembling and rigging steel loads.
At around 2.45pm on 22 February 2019, a Rigweld staff member choked a chain on the shorter beam, which was then raised by crane to the correct height. The victim was then instructed to reach under the 30-metre beam, pull a chain through from the other side of the beam, and to then pass the chain up to that Rigweld staff member.
Just as the victim reached under the beam, the timber stye holding it collapsed, pinning the victim underneath. The beam fell across his shoulder to his hip. The victim suffered several life-threatening injuries.
Consequential loss – Nil sought against Leighs.
Costs – $1,664.09
