Clipsal 500 death highlights the incompetence of the Safety Proffesion in this country

The death of a young V8 driver on the weekend highlights the incompetence of the Safety Profession in this country. We have everybody comming out and investigating the incident from police to the who's who of politics, yet the workplace inspectorate are not involved the SIA keeps quite on the subject.

Well it's simple!!!!!!!

This incident proves what I have been proposing for years! Deaths on our roads are caused by impact with an object that expels the energy to the driver or passengers. In this case it was a concrete barrier!

How about they use some brains and move the barriers back, leaving the corner the same but added a sand trap before the barrier. Simple isn't it, the sand would then absorb a lot of the energy before hitting the barrier.

Oh but that's right the incompetent safety profession will claim it was speed related! It's sad to say but the SIA is way out of touch.

And why isn't the workplace inspectorate involved? It is definately a workplace and drivers are definately paid for working in their profession. It must be too hard for safety people to understand!


MAY YOUR DEATH BE THE CATALYST FOR CHANGE IN THE SAFETY INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA AND NOT BE IN VAIN LIKE PETER BROCK
