Just watched ABC News.... They featured a young couple on Hamilton Island who have been placed in Lock-down.... All Guests are being placed in a Cyclone Shelter till Danger passes.... Fair enough I say... Anything above a Cat3 is no laughing matter... been there done that...But...
What worries me is this couple mentioned that All Staff have been 'Sent' to their Huts/Dongas and are Not Allowed to leave until danger passes... AND These Huts/Dongas are not Cyclone Rated...
The Staff are Not Allowed to seek Shelter in the Island's Cyclone rated Building... Doesn't this come under O.H &S... And Duty of Care of Employees ... I can see a few Workers Comp Claims coming on....
When I worked up there, Staff were NOT allowed in any swimming pools, Bars, Restaurants or Beaches that Guests patronage on the Island.... A Mini Jail we called the Place....
Good Luck to The Staff and Guests on the Island for the next 24hrs...O
