Fined over forklift safety

A Dandenong South bubble-wrap manufacturer was convicted and fined $10,000 over safety lapses at its workplace.

Polycell Australia pleaded guilty at the Dandenong Magistrates Court to two charges of failing to provide a safe workplace.

The charges relate to a worker falling almost two metres from a pallet raised by a forklift in 2009.

WorkSafe found there were no safe procedures in place for the task and inadequate supervision, training and instruction.
