WorkSafe Victoria says it has a team focused on Victorian infrastructure projects, but it is not currently pursuing any matters through the courts related to alleged workplace violence during the state’s “Big Build.” Multiple outlets report that WorkSafe confirmed the absence of active court proceedings for these claims, despite the regulator’s responsibility for workplace health and safety enforcement.
The articles frame the issue around concerns that violence has occurred on construction sites covered by the Big Build program and that a regulatory response should be underway. WorkSafe’s position, as reported, is that while it maintains dedicated infrastructure resources, it is not taking these specific allegations to court at this time.
The reports do not provide details on whether investigations are ongoing, whether any enforcement action other than court proceedings has been taken, or what evidentiary or legal thresholds may apply. As presented across sources, the key point is WorkSafe’s current stance on litigation: there are no cases before the courts tied to the reported violence claims.
