Demolition Environmental Civil Contractors Pty Ltd

Facts

Demolition of concrete hobs in a Canberra Centre carpark in January 2023 dislodged three metal facade panels near unrelated workers; no injuries. DECC had been charged and proposed the EU instead; first EU accepted by WorkSafe ACT since 2020.

Outcome

WorkSafe ACT accepted an enforceable undertaking (2 June 2026). Terms include: EU initiatives >$225,000 (worker $110k, industry incl. silica research $105k, community $20k); prosecution discontinued. An undertaking is not a finding or admission of a contravention unless the regulator says the party admitted it.
