Thank you!

One of the issues was the effective silencing of people who were in a position to raise serious concerns, concerns that were known and should have drawn focused attention to the safety of the mine. What advice do you have for any managers or safety people who find themselves in similar position, or the milder version of being expected to present a positive take of the safety of their operations

Like others, it feels like not much changed post Pike River, for a number of reasons - but lack of accountability being a big one. Have you seen any positive impacts?

Q1 - What do you think would have been the impact of going ahead with the prosecution against Peter Whittall rather than the deal that was made?

Q2 - What similarities or differences do you see between Pike river and White Island?

Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to comment, and I will forward your message onto the team who work in this area, but please feel free to send your thoughts through directly to habitatworkataccdotcodotnz

I have personally experienced being visited by two uniformed police officers who issued me (on behalf of my workplace) a summons for a charge relating to the misuse of drugs. The charge followed the death of a person by overdose from medication that they took from a cupboard in the workplace. As well as the tragedy of the person who died, uncontrolled medication in the workplace is real (not theoretical) legal risk.
