Stevedore killed in Adelaide wharf accident.

Stevedore killed in Adelaide wharf accident.:

"The 60-year-old man was killed when a load of steel fell on him while he was working on a ship at about 1:30 am ACST."

We have had too many deaths reecently and too many near misses. Time to shape up , ak a few questions and lift our game. Obviously things need to be investigated well, but we all need to be far more alert as to what might constitute a dangerous work practice. We don't have deaths on the water front. I don't think writing things off as accidental will help us resolve what appear to be a whole heap of unnecessary accidents. It's something we all need to be considering more carefully because families are suffering and largely without the knowledge that our workplaces are now safer. The pain of losing someone can be salved a little by knowing their loss has helped improve the lot of others.
