QR official to face court over rail worker deaths
Posted
A senior Queensland Rail (QR) official will reappear in a Mackay court early next year, charged in relation to the deaths of two rail workers last year.
Last December, Jamie Adams and Gary Watkins were killed when they were struck by a track machine while working on a rail line at Mindi, south-west of Mackay in north Queensland.
QR executive general manager Glen Mullins did not appear in the Mackay Industrial Magistrates Court yesterday to face one charge of breaching workplace health and safety obligations.
The case will be reviewed in February next year.
