23.01.2022 Another tragedy unfolding for another family. We will all sit quietly and await news - mostly though, like so many before, this snippet of tragedy will likely be the only news the public sees. Mostly it will be this workers family every ounce of might as they traverse the bureaucratic nonsense alone. It has always been, and remains an insidious system. Our hearts hurt with them all. Rest in peace.

21.01.2022 There’s a silent shift in the air. You’re the elephant in the room, bringing a heaviness everyone feels but won’t acknowledge. You become the statistic.

20.01.2022 It was inevitable. Please watch this page for updates as to how we move ahead with a remembrance of our loved ones this year.

20.01.2022 Using your grief to educate - our friend Kay Catanzariti has done amazing work here. Will it Your Way. The importance of a Will can never be overstated.

19.01.2022 The laws as they relate to a death in the workplace. Different states going it alone.

16.01.2022 Miguel Dantas De Sa left his 16-year-old victim feeling 'degraded and confused' after sexually exploiting her at work.

16.01.2022 Who else does this?

16.01.2022 Mother’s Day It’s a day mothers’ are supposed to feel special - loved and appreciated. I want to send a shout out to so many of our Mums at VOID today.... Today is a day of gut wrenching heart ache. Today I feel empty too. I hear you. We hear you. You don’t need to say a word.

14.01.2022 Today has been an incredibly hard day - 7 years to the day that Alex was given a new ‘home’ . The home I visit daily and know that he is so close yet so very far away, the home which forbids me those mummy hugs I crave for It breaks my heart all over again when those memories of this day come flooding back. And I sit here at home alone , hubby interstate and my other 2 sons living life ...but ME , I continue to die a little more inside ...I am guessing those of us here get it, doesn’t make it any easier , right !

12.01.2022 We are so sad - our deepest condolences to the family

12.01.2022 A little lazy reading ... https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au//key-work-health-and-

11.01.2022 MOTHERS IN ARMS - FOR OUR SONS You can't water down rules designed to keep young workers safe, without increasing the risk to their safety. We have both fought so hard for our sons ... educating, fighting for better outcomes for others ... and we have both struggled to find a reason to go on without our boys. Please. Apprentice supervision is central to their safety. Please don't take that away. Please don't allow this to all have been for nothing? Please. With an extra bitter pill for Michelle today - her Alex died 19 January 2013. Her birthday falls on 19 January. No words my friend. Only this.

10.01.2022 Can anyone confirm a recent 'event' that occurred at the Olympic Dam mine (as in the last week or so)? We understand there was an explosion underground - workers evacuated - questions as to whether one worker has died. Can someone confirm please?

09.01.2022 how true this speaks

08.01.2022 To All who walk this journey

06.01.2022 An incredibly tragic and sad event - and if Victoria has the same restrictions as we do - those funerals will be just gut wrenching

06.01.2022 The 28th day in April is always special. International Workers’ Memorial Day

05.01.2022 The problem with this story and the rogue systemic failures of workers compensation schemes across Australia is that ... it really reveals nothing new.

02.01.2022 Hi everyone - it's Andrea Madeley here. In just 4 days, I will have reached a 1 year milestone practicing as a legal practitioner in South Australia. Those who understand why I studied law so late in life, may also appreciate my passion for safety in the workplace - and I am certainly not alone in this group of families passionate about safety. Over the years I have met more than a few traumatised individuals who have buried a much loved member of their family following a... lethal electric shock. It is for this reason I find it hard to fathom why anyone would downplay the seriousness of these deadly events. When dealing with workers, or indeed anybody who has had the unfortunate experience of having an electric current run through their body - can we please be very clear about one thing -- if 25 milliamps (0.025 amps) is enough to kill a person, then it's safe to say your average encounter with a live electrical appliance (say your average 10amp kettle or toaster or heck, piece of commercial apparatus even) is always, always ... always dangerous event. Another thing worth mentioning - an 'electrocution' is a fatal event - every time. No exception. An 'electric shock' is a survivable event - and depending on the current (amperage) - 'luck' is almost always the prevailing rule of thumb in the context of any injury. So the next time I hear someone say, "Oh come on - it was only a minor electrocution..." I may just implode. There is literally no such thing. It's the reasons earth leakage devices were mandated in Australia decades ago. #safety #whs #ohs

01.01.2022 Electricity - again. We are so sad to hear about this tragedy.
