Plea:
Guilty
Decision:
Convicted
Final decision date:
Fine imposed:
$36,250
Safety lessons learned:
- Prioritise the development and implementation of a mechanical drool board that eliminates the need for employees to be exposed to the in-running nip during a web break and/or the start-up of the Extruder;
- Implement, document and communicate temporary safety arrangements to reduce the likelihood that employees would be harmed when using the drool board during a web break and/or a start-up of the Extruder; and
- Adequately guard the Laminator 2 drive side nip so as to comply with the Standard AS/NZS 4024. This could have been achieved by installing a combination of light curtains or safety laser scanners together with low barrier guards to prevent inadvertent contact with the nip point between the Pressure roller and Chill roller.
