Correct Safety Emphasizes Employee and Workplace Safety in Light of Electrolux Roof Collapse

Adelaide, South Australia, February 19 2014

Following the recent collapse of a roof at an Electrolux factory in Orange, widespread concern has been raised about the cause of the incident and the potential lack of preventative measures taken. Correct Safety, an organisation with experience in both commercial and public projects, has emphasised that employee and workplace safety must become a priority.

The accident, which occurred on Tuesday February 4, caused extensive structural damage when the roof fell over an electrical substation. This not only cut the power supply, but also set off the emergency fire sprinklers, leading to flooding.

The roof was riddled with asbestos, meaning specialists have been called in to clear the rubble safely and without further risk for employees. All work on the factory floor has been ceased until further notice and the company has also employed height safety experts to extensively examine the building for further damage.

Electrolux employees are being forced to take leave until the site has been declared safe. It is estimated the process will take a minimum of three days, which is particularly unfortunate for the company as it is currently its peak selling period.

Correct Safety has emphasised that the necessary measures must be taken in order to minimise the risks of such accidents. Working Australia-wide, the company specialises in providing modular and affordable safety solutions that adhere to Work Health and Safety requirements.
