SafetyNet 472

It with great sadness that we report there were another two work-related fatalities in Victoria in the past week. We extend our sincerest condolences to the family, friends, and work colleagues of the deceased workers.

On a happier note: We look forward to seeing HSRs tomorrow night at the launch of the work for 2019 - see details, below.
