Court-enforceable undertaking for John Holland Rail

04 Sep 2009

Comcare has accepted a Court-enforceable undertaking for John Holland Rail (JHR) after JHR allegedly failed to observe its duties under federal workplace safety laws.

The undertaking is a result of a Comcare investigation into a 24 August 2007 incident where an apprentice boilermaker sustained crush injuries to his left index finger at JHR’s facility at Kewdale, Western Australia.

The undertaking is a legally enforceable commitment by JHR. Enforceable undertakings commit employers to do more than minimum compliance with workplace safety legislation.
