25 Jun 2026 Risham Nominees Pty Ltd (Centenary Bakehouse)Centenary Bakehouse: record 3.4 million AUD fine for workplace manslaughter €2.07m
The Supreme Court of Victoria sentenced Risham Nominees Pty Ltd, operator of Centenary Bakehouse, after a guilty plea for workplace manslaughter to a fine of 3.4 million AUD, the highest penalty to date for a single offence under the workplace safety laws of the state of Victoria. During ceiling works at the bakery in Reservoir in August 2021, a worker fell around four metres and suffered fatal head injuries. The company had taken no measures against falls and did not require the use of harnesses that were available, although an independent scaffold would have been reasonably practicable.
For work at height, engineered fall protection such as scaffolding must be planned before work starts; harnesses lying ready without a duty to wear them are not enough.
