Seven steps to make your business safe

Hospitality Industry example

• An apprentice chef in a hotel restaurant was busy

preparing for the dinner service. He suffered a severe injury when he sliced his hand.

• A full WHS investigation began which led to the

company being prosecuted for failing to provide adequate training and supervision.

• The company was fined $25,000 and incurred

$20,000 in defence costs.

• Lucky for this client – At his Broker’s insistence, he

had a Management Liability policy which covered all costs

You could still get prosecuted!
