SafetyNet 587

Welcome to the August 4/5 edition of SafetyNet.

In the past two weeks, two Victorian workers were killed at work. The VTHC extends our sincere condolences to the workers' families, friends and colleagues.

In the latest COVID news: Victoria records zero new infections on Wednesday. In NSW the situation remains extremely serious with 233 new cases. Queensland too is battling to control an outbreak and the south west part of the state has gone into lockdown.
