And the Australian death toll continues to mount in our workplaces and safety fails to move towards a profession becuase of those selfish members, fellows and chartered fellows who are not qualified and thinking only of themselves instead of the Safety Industry and the benefits of it being seen as a true profession with people that are competent.
So the death toll continues.
