Taken away my life: Companies fined after workers collapse in toxic gas pit
Two companies were fined over $685,000 after workers were gassed in a Taylorville Resource Park pit in 2023. Hydrogen sulphide wasn't disclosed, leading to severe injury for one and PTSD for his rescuer. The court cited "near-complete failure" in hazard management. One worker described the incident as ruining his life. Both companies pleaded guilty.
