WARNING: Graphic content A teenage apprentice has been left “terrified” after a nail was fired into his skull in a workplace accident at a Melbourne construction site. Riley Scott, who was an employee at Topline Carpentry South East, was building a door frame at a site in Glen Waverley with another, more experienced colleague in March 2021. The pair were facing each other at opposite ends of the door frame when the more experienced worker fired his nail gun.
“I don’t know what I’d do without him,” he said. Topline Carpentry South East was sentenced in the Ringwood Magistrates Court in December 2022 after being found guilty of eight charges under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. One of these offences was failing to preserve the scene following both incidents. According to WorkSafe, not only did the company not report the incidents, it also removed all its tools, bar one nail gun, from the worksite before the watchdog arrived.
