The wife of an injured Ports of Auckland worker is furious about management s claims they were unaware of the extent of health and safety failings revealed this week in a highly critical report.
Following three deaths linked to the port, Auckland Mayor Phil Goff ordered the independent review. It found systemic safety failings, suspected under-reporting of accidents, with workers fearing speaking up.
Ports of Auckland chief executive Tony Gibson maintains he was not aware things were so bad and is refusing to resign, despite growing calls for him to walk.
In 2015, the port was fined $55,000 and ordered to pay $25,000 in compensation after failing to ensure the safety of a worker who was badly injured in an accident on the job.
