Why ports boss Tony Gibson should resign over workplace deaths

Stuff
L-R: Laboom Midnight Dyer, Palaamo Kalati and Leslie Gelberger died as the result of accidents at Ports of Auckland.
For Dyer’s death, the port was fined $540,000. Judge Evangelos Thomas found: “There was a systemic failure to install and maintain a culture of safety and compliance”.
A $424,000 fine for the company, and $8400 for one of its skippers, came from Gelberger’s death. The court heard Ports of Auckland’s vessels breached speed limits on 99 per cent of their journeys.
Maritime NZ is investigating Kalati’s death.
Initial inquiries have revealed a crane driver was not made aware of the presence of workers nearby, and that the port was not ensuring compliance with health and safety procedures.
