Court issues $360,000 in fines over worker death
The Industrial Court of NSW has issued $360,000 in fines after WorkCover NSW successfully prosecuted three organisations and a manager over the death of a 48-year-old worker killed during upgrades to Epping Road in 2008.
On 1 May 2008, Kevin Finnemore, a 48-year-old employee of South Coast Excavations (formerly known as Online Concrete Sawing), sustained fatal injuries when he was run over by a prime mover with an attached dog trailer while carrying out upgrade works to Epping Road at the intersection of Herring Road, Macquarie Park.
