Amputated toe leads to $100k fine after worksite 'assistance' causes injury

A business has been fined $100,000 after an excavator driver lowered a bucket of concrete onto a labourer's foot, resulting in a toe amputation.

Magistrate Ian Temby previously found Fed Consulting Services and its director, Stephen Gelo, guilty of failing to comply with a health and safety duty causing risk of death or serious injury.

In a decision published on Thursday, June 11, Mr Temby fined the business $100,000 and Mr Gelo $10,000.
