Senior police face WorkCover inquiry
The Police Minister, John Watkins, said yesterday that the Deputy Commissioner, Dave Madden, and the inner metropolitan regional commander, Bob Waites, had been interviewed by WorkCover officials about their responsibility to provide a safe work situation for police. Failure to provide a safe workplace carries a maximum WorkCover penalty of $825,000 for an organisation or $55,000 for an individual.
