According to the NZ Herald:
WorkSafe has filed a charge against the Ministry of Social Development following the Ashburton Work and Income shootings last September.The mind boggles over what future "practicable" steps will entail.
The charge under Section 6 of the Health and Safety in Employment Act alleges the ministry failed to take all practicable steps to ensure the safety of its employees while at work.
