An indoor shooting range north of Brisbane has been fined after an employee was diagnosed with acute lead poisoning due to exposure to ammunition.
The employee, whose duties included close supervision of shooters, was diagnosed with lead poisoning, and his blood test revealed a lead level thirteen times the acceptable high-end range.
Kreutzer Pty Ltd pleaded guilty to a breach of the Work Health and Safety act and were required to pay $77,000 plus court costs.
