Subscriber only A CQ miner has hit his employer with a $1.2m lawsuit over alleged safety breaches he claims caused a debilitating shoulder injury. But BHP is defending the supreme court claim arguing the worker s own failures caused the two-metre fall and that he had a pre-existing condition. Leonard Dennis Booroff is seeking the multimillion dollar payout because he claims his injuries will deteriorate over the next six months and he will not be able to work. Mr Booroff was inspecting a grader while on day shift at BMA s Saraji mine on June 3, 2015 when he fell about 1.8 to two metres from a platform on the machine.
