EXCLUSIVE: The family of a truck driver who died in a crash while high on ice has been awarded a payout of more than half a million dollars after the Workers Compensation Commission found he was acting within the course of his employment at the time. Darren Hughes, 42, had worked for up to 36 hours and had been smoking what his partner described as little rocks ⦠in a glass pipe to help him stay awake, when his B-double semi-trailer veered off the road and into the bedroom of a converted petrol station where an elderly couple were asleep, just after 3am in the South Australian town of Bordertown on December 12, 2013.

World Day for Safety and Health at Work 28 April 2021
Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety Director Mines Safety Andrew Chaplyn is encouraging workplaces to get involved in the World Day for Safety and Health at Work.
The International Labour Organisation event observed each year on 28 April honours workers who have died as a result of a work-related injury or illness.
The theme for this year’s event is: “Anticipate, prepare and respond to crises and invest now in resilient work health and safety systems”.
“This is a very timely and appropriate theme inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic,” Mr Chaplyn said.
