ACT Work Safety Commissioner Mark McCabe has advised that a prohibition notice has been issued for work to cease at an ACT construction site following safety concerns. 

 

WorkSafe ACT today inspected the Kenoss Contractors Pty Ltd site in Molonglo and issued a prohibition notice preventing further work on that site by Kenoss.  The notice prohibits all work by Kenoss on the site until such time that WorkSafe ACT is satisfied with the systems of work in place.

 

“After visiting the site in Molonglo, WorkSafe ACT found a number of safety concerns.  The recent incident at Kenoss’ Turner site is a stark reminder of just how dangerous construction work can be,” said Mr McCabe. 

 

“Kenoss’ work at Molonglo will stay closed until we are fully satisfied with the safety systems in place on site.”

 

The site closure follows an incident at another Kenoss worksite, where a worker was found collapsed beside his tip truck last Friday. WorkSafe issued a Prohibition Notice on further work on that site from Saturday 24 March.  That Notice is still in place.
