The Manildra Group has reaffirmed its commitment to workplace health and safety after yet another industrial incident at its Bombaderry plant.
A pokesperson said, “On Thursday 17th October at approximately 10pm a structural failure occurred affecting three grain silos at Manildra Group’s Shoalhaven Starches site.
“Our primary priority is the health, safety, and wellbeing of our employees and the surrounding community. All employees are safe, with no injuries sustained. Emergency protocols and safety procedures were enacted immediately.
“Manildra Group is fully cooperating with Fire and Rescue New South Wales (FRNSW), and as a precaution, an exclusion zone has been established around the affected silos.
“A quantity of grain has spilled into the Shoalhaven River, and Manildra Group is actively working alongside SafeWork NSW and the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) to address this.
“Our onsite team is working with structural engineers to assess the situation.
We remain dedicated to upholding the highest standards of workplace health and safety for our employees and the Bomaderry community.”
