          <inserted>Independent of the SafeWork SA audit program, since January 2019 there has been only one serious EWP safety incident, including hospitalisation of a worker. The PCBU notified SafeWork SA about this incident pursuant to their duty to notify of a notifiable incident under section 38 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2012 (SA) (WHS Act). The worker was admitted to hospital with a fractured pelvis. SafeWork SA after investigating the incident, recommended no further investigation after some additional follow-up in relation to incident notification. </inserted>

          <inserted>In addition to the mentioned incident, there has been one other EWP safety incident (independent of the SafeWork SA audit program) involving an injury to a worker. The PCBU notified SafeWork SA about this incident pursuant to their duty to notify of a dangerous incident under section 37(g) of the WHS Act. The worker suffered jarring and a muscle sprain but was not admitted to hospital. SafeWork SA investigated the incident and the PCBU has subsequently implemented corrective and preventative actions to prevent or minimise a re-occurrence of the incident. On the basis of these actions SafeWork SA recommended no further investigation.</inserted>
