    If NBL Players Were Slipping at Any Other Workplace, Would We Still Be Waiting for a Solution?

    Imagine working in a warehouse where employees repeatedly slip on the same section of flooring.

Under Australian workplace safety laws, employers are expected to investigate and manage foreseeable risks, not simply rely on an industry safety certificate. A business found to be in breach of safety obligations could face a WorkSafe improvement notice requiring the hazard to be fixed.
