Mr Witherall said the inspectors would return to Perth to continue gathering witness accounts and information before handing the findings to a specialist investigation team."I would anticipate that in the next seven to 10 days we should have a pretty good idea of what actually occurred and the events that took place on that day," he said
"These notices will be lifted once we've completed our preliminary investigation to ensure that there's no ongoing risks," he said.
