What a bloody joke. WorkSafe won't take action? So kids getting chemical burns is just 'one of those things' now? Unbelievable.
my point. No accountability, just 'oops, human error'. Yeah right.
Yeah nah, this reeks of 'let's just sweep it under the rug'. Industrial sanitiser on a waterslide? Who even has that lying around a daycare?
mate, someone probably grabbed the wrong drum. Still, that's a basic check they missed. Schoolboy error with serious consequences.
As a student in ECE, this is terrifying. How does that even happen? Someone must have made a massive stuff-up. But no consequences? Great message.
had a lecture on this last week. No amount of training helps if the culture is slack.

ffs, I've worked in maintenance. Industrial sanitiser vs detergent is a pretty basic mix-up. Someone wasn't paying attention and kids paid the price.
WorkSafe dropping the ball again. What's the point of them if they never do anything?
they'll probably be slapped with a $500 fine for a tyre going flat on a truck. Pathetic.
Worked in chemical handling for years. That stuff is no joke. Can't believe it ended up on a slide. Someone should be held accountable.
This makes me sick. Poor kids and staff. And the centre gets off scot-free? Absolute joke.
bet they'll still claim they're 'thorough'. Yeah right.
Horrible situation. But let's hope the centre learns from this and fixes their procedures. Blame game won't help the families already hurt.
Wait, so nobody even got fined? That's insane. How is that acceptable?
be a criminal charge for negligence. That's just basic safety 101.
