There are a number of important issues and trends in workplace safety offences and fines for both companies and individuals, according to the Victorian Sentencing Advisory Council. The vast majority of defendants sentenced for OHS offences in the state were companies (83 per cent), and of the 200 individuals sentenced, the large majority of individual defendants were male (97 per cent) and only six of them were women, said Dr Paul McGorrery, CEO of the Victorian Sentencing Advisory Council.
