A Darwin-based tree services company has been fined $10,000 following a serious workplace incident that involved an employee attempting to light a cigarette for another worker who was refuelling a work vehicle, causing a fireball that engulfed the vehicle and injured the employee.
Tiger Contracting NT Pty Ltd, trading as Tiger Trees NT, pleaded guilty to one charge under the Work Health Act for breaching its primary duty of care and failing to ensure a safe work environment.
So the employees, not the company, should be fined.
