Employer fined $225k over death and supplier issues; Companies reminded of Rana Plaza disaster

An employer breached it legislative safety duties, in the lead up to the death of a manager, by failing to instruct a supplier to pack containers in a manner that allowed them to be emptied safely, a court has ruled. Meanwhile, Australian companies have been urged to take a more ethical approach to their supply chains, on the 10th anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster.
