Executive Summary
This paper has briefly elaborated on the case of Canberra Construction Company who
is liquidised and penalised for breaching workplace health and safety laws. It has shed light
on the incident of the death of one of the workers of the company because of poor safety
management planning prevailing in the organisation. Furthermore, it has also assessed the
different hazards that were associated with the work sites and how the different managerial
department showed their negligence to the same. This report is concluded with providing
some recommendation for the part of the different authority bodies of the company which, if
would have followed, could have stopped the incident from taking place.
