Thank you for your email. Apologies, we had missed an attachment to your
response.

 

The attached correspondence shows a member of our staff initially rang
Worksafe and was not able to reach his primary contact for notifying
incidents, so he left a message and completed the online notification
tool.  Worksafe called back the following day.

 

Below is a brief timeline of events for the notification.

o Incident: Tuesday 23 June 2020, 8.48pm.
o Call to Worksafe (not answered) and completion of online notification
tool by John Lee: by Wednesday 24 June 2020, 2.09pm.
o Return call from Worksafe: by Thursday 25 June, 3.05pm.
o No further action from Worksafe.

Dear Ms Pillay,

Thank you for your response and the information relating the the death of
JI Suqing at Glenfield Pools on 10 August 2020.

The information you provided about the incident involving Hamish Jamieson
at Glenfield Pools on 23 June 2020 appears to be an irregular notification
to Worksafe, ( the normal procedure would be via a phone call ) the
document provided does not say by what means Worksafe was notified or the
specific date and time. Therefore In the absence of these details which
would confirm Worksafe had been advised, then please provide a copy of
Worksafe’s letter of acknowledgement, this would also include there
reference information.

This is not a new OIA request, it is still within the scope of my original
request which asked for a copy of the;
- Worksafe notification, or
- If Worksafe were not notified please provide the reasons why.

I trust you will provide the Worksafe acknowledgement or an explanation
why Worksafe were not informed.

Yours sincerely,

Scott
