Summary
A tragic workplace death in Adelaide has led to groundbreaking legal action — 28-year-old Lachlan Carslake died after a metal piece ejected from a milling machine struck him. Now, Nylastex Engineering Solutions and its directors face historic industrial manslaughter charges in South Australia, the first under the new law enacted July 1, 2024. A project manager also faces gross negligence charges. SafeWork SA found the company grossly breached its duty of care. Penalties include up to 20 years in prison for individuals and $18 million fines for the company. Unions had previously warned about safety failures — this case underscores the deadly cost of negligence. The company expressed condolences and says it’s reviewing the incident, while court appearances are imminent. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
