BE - One can only hope that, as the inquest proceeds this week, something good might come from it all and legislation adopted, put in place and ‘policed’.
Alan_L - These recommendations are aimed at preventing similar deaths in the future. Recommendations can only be made if an inquest is held.
Sen Fawcett - I notice that still is not available now, nearly 10 years after the event. Does it cause you any concern that recommendations that were accepted by the coroner, and put out as a way of preventing a future accident, still have not actually eventuated ?.
Estimates 23/5/12.
Have you noticed if any of the promised legislation which many Coroners relied on for their recommendations, is available for practical use ?.
Have you noticed if any Coroners recommendations have been adopted to produce, in any practical, meaningful way improved safety outcomes ?.
Have you noticed - in real terms, if there has been a pro active approach to reduce the self evident risks or casual factors related to the provided recommendations ?.
Does there remain a potential for the incident to be repeated ?.
History will repeat and prove, yet again that it's all remarkably predictable.
