In recent months, SafeWork SA has suspended several high-risk work licences as a result of non-compliance with the conditions of their licence. These incidents include:
- a crane operator who struck powerlines while transporting material onto a construction site
- the suspension of a crane licence when its driver tipped the crane on its side, endangering others.
Those who hold high-risk licenses are required to take reasonable care of their health and safety and ensure that their acts or omissions do not adversely affect the safety and health of others. SafeWorkSA will suspend a high-risk licence if they consider there is a risk that serious harm to the health and safety of themselves or others is imminent.
