The widow of a man who was killed on an Adelaide construction site says it can take years for loved ones to get answers about workplace deaths.
The government has largely accepted the recommendations, but has rejected four, including that SafeWork disclose to an oversight body why it did not proceed with a prosecution.
Ms Gurner-Hall said while she was happy most of the recommendations had been accepted, she was angry the same legal privilege argument that was used in her partner's case was also being used in the Woodford case."Legal professional privilege is in place to protect the average Joe Blow, basically, who may be giving information to a lawyer and needs that information protected. One fully understands that," she said.
"I understand fully why Gayle Woodford's family want to know why SafeWork decided not to investigate," she said.The review found there was substance to families' feelings that SafeWork made errors, disrespected them and withheld information.Industrial Relations Minister Kyam Maher said the government was already working on making the system better.
