Insulation Debacle due to Training Failure

The CFMEU was saying a year ago that training requirements for the Federal Government's insulation roll out were inadeqaute. They were also warned of the dangers of using foil insulation.

Tragically we have been proven correct and now the government and employers must act to make sure no more lives are lost.

It was the always the CFMEU's position that training should be completed by every worker involved, not just one supervisor per contractor.
