Following the 12th fatality in 12 months in the Western Australian agricultural industry, WorkSafe Commissioner Darren Kavanagh announced an Inquiry and appointed an Independent Inquirer.

The Inquiry will consider a range of issues and recommendations on matters that affect the safety performance of the agricultural industry and have influenced the increase in deaths.

The independent Inquirer, Pam Scott, will conduct community consultation meetings around the State, and anyone interested to attend is encouraged to register.

Anyone wishing to make a submission to the Inquiry can do so by Friday, 30 September, 2022 to aginquiry@worksafe.wa.gov.au or via post to:
