On 27 March 2017 the NSW District Court handed down a decision in Safe Work (NSW) v Activate Fire Pty Ltd; Safe Work (NSW) v Unity (NSW) Pty Ltd [2017] NSWDC 66.
The case provides an excellent summary of key legal principles underpinning health and safety legislation. It also provides very good insight into the issue of when an entity “engages” a contractor for the purposes of health and safety legislation.
Finally, the case is instructive, because the Court examines each of the allegations against Activate and Unity – the things the regulator said it was “reasonably practicable” for them to do – and explains why those things were or were not reasonably practicable.
You can access a 25 minute video presentation about case HERE.
My Safety Thoughts 
Just letting you know that the video isnât working properly. It keeps restarting as the slides progress. A pity because it looks like an interesting case.
Kind regards

Thanks Deborah. I have tried running it a few times from my end with no issues. Also, other people have been able to run the video without a problem. If the problem persists for you, let me know and I will see if I can package it up in a different way / format. Best regards. Greg Smith
