A builder and a metal fabricator have been fined a total of $65,000 for failing to control fall risks on home building sites in Boronia and Noble Park. Inspectors were revisiting the site at the time, having already issued WAM Homes a prohibition notice for fall risks. The court heard WAM Homes was previously fined $15,000 without conviction over the fall risks identified in WorkSafe’s original visit to the Boronia worksite in 2022. Wanjia, which was subcontracted by WAM Homes for the Noble Park project, was fined $15,000 without conviction for failing to reduce fall risks by using a passive fall prevention device. WorkSafe chief health and safety officer Sam Jenkin said WorkSafe had no tolerance for employers who repeatedly ignored fall risks.
