Im not sure if its fair to say that the investigation was "botched" Doug. That would imply that an active investigation took place which made mistakes. I would label this as a thorough investigation. Thoroughly disinterested. A thoroughly disinterested investigation. Your boss barely paid lip service to the idea of safety, only if an "investigating"🥱 officer shows up & asks a question, then he will pretend to take an interest though it is clear he couldnt care less. The workplace safety organisation is clearly comfortable maintaining a level of lip service to workplace safety otherwise if they gave even a quarter of a sh*t then their officer wouldnt be back in the office, he would be out there at the salmon farm giving a f*ck about worker safety & making sure that EVERY requirement is being thoroughly implemented & actioned. That is what you do when you arent simply turning up for a paycheck because as a representative of an organisation that is mandated to ensure that the laws in place are being followed, you would not sleep comfortably at night while you know such a casual & cavalier operator is putting the lives of workers at risk on a daily basis. You provided a 28 page record of what took place. Any safety investigator should be in love with recieving that because it would help to make their job so easy. A 28 page statement should be referred to as a comprehensive report & what more could an investigator, or somebody worth that name, ask for? If they have a 28 page statement & they interview 4 people, who, as you made clear, have a vested interest in maintaining a fiction, though you shouldnt have had to mention that as it is so clearly obvious, & they then find that these peoples "recall" of events doesnt match what is written in a 28 page statement then, as an investigator, I would think "Hmm🤔,Thats curious" or I might think "Wtf! There is some shifty sh*t going on here" & I would make a point of speaking to the 4 outstanding witnesses to see if I could corroborate the information from one side or the other. But they havent done that so who is it they believe? They clearly cant believe both sides. Do they think youre interested in being a fiction writer with tall tales of the sea? Even excluding the dive computer, how do you complete an investigation when there are two divergent versions of the events that took place & 50% of the eyewitnesses to that event havent been interviewed to this day? And they've completed their investigation & they emphasis with what you went through? How? What are they talking about? So they do take your word for it & they empasis & they also consider what your old boss did as some sort of boo-boo do they? That this is a one-off? An anomaly from an ordinarily caring & considerate professional who has a verifiable history of good conduct & the highest of standards, based on the comments & statements of past colleague's & people that have worked under him. Is this what they are hanging their hats on? Or is their casual satisfaction that there is nothing to see here only going to be the equivalent of hanging future divers? They may as well because the scumbag risking peoples lives & health out there isnt motivated & concerned for the safety of others or what happened to you would have been a shock enough that all of the safety equipment & practices would have been in place the next day, while you were still recuperating in hospital. I could go on & on because there is so much that is wrong here, from go to whoa, & I could say that youre old boss should hang his head in shame but that is pointless because he feels no shame, he couldnt give a f*ck & that is a piece of sh*t lowlife scumbag all over, who should be chased out of the industry because there shouldnt be a place in it for somebody like that. Hunan pus is what he is. Repugnant. Its occupational safety that should hang their heads in shame. Do your f*cking job professionally & thoroughly. Dont make excuses for being lazy & disinterested. But especially dont insult somebody that has had their life put at risk for nothing & will bear the effects of it until they do die, dont insult them by referring to what amounts to a half hearted site visit as an investigation, let alone a completed investigation but more importantly, dont f*cking tell somebody that you have empathy when nothing you are capable of doing, as an agency, shows that. Its lip sevice & nothing more & its bullsh*t. Tell it to the widow of the next diver because you have a real caring & concerned operator out there that makes sure he's current with best practices & has worker safety as the core of what he does. Yeah right, emphasis with that. Yeah I feel for you brother. Its appalling & to be honest its worrying & workers in New Labrador should be concerned that they are rubber stamping this sh*t & saying all of the same old buzz word crap like working with employers rah rah & it isnt good enough. Its a shame that you cant make a police report in that case. They will say there is an agency for workplace prosecutions but if they aren't going to do their job properly then somebody else has to. Its like the FAA in the US allowing Boeing to self-certify. What a self interested joke that is on Boeings side & what a dereliction of responsibility that was by the FAA. It all amounts to the same thing. Caring is only a word to them. Some sh*t they say to pick up their pay while another worker dies that day. It has to begin at the same place, whether you are an employee, an employer or the agency overseeing workplace safety. It is exactly the same to get anywhere. You have to give a damn. Honestly. It has to matter or it wont, simple as that. They are allowing that scumbag loser to get away with excuses. They are ALLOWING it. Peace & much love from New Zealand brother👍🇳🇿😁
thank you so much for your support, unfortunately there has been at least one death on our salmon farms since this happened to me. Some diving experts cited this as the "perfect storm" and a dangerous operation where safety is at its lowest they've ever seen!
@DeepDiveSurvivor2024 you have a state regulating body & yet, as it appears to people in the industry, that safety is the lowest its ever been. That says everything that needs to be said about your workplace safety organisation doesnt it. Well, maybe it leaves a couple of questions, is it due to their ineptitude & complete inability to do their job effectively or straight corruption? Are they regularly making media statements that they are understaffed due to underfunding or that state officials have avoided putting the best legislation on the books? I dont know about a "perfect storm" situation though, this sounds less like multiple factors coming together to create a tragic outcome, sadly, it sounds much more like it was inevitable. An employer, or staff member tasked with safety, who isnt proactive on their own initiative, is not likely to change the way they conduct business without incurring significant financial or legal motivations. Usually its clear to see that when it comes to finding better ways to increase profits, they are proactive. When it comes to making sure that supplies, material & equipment that gives them a better chance of making more profit arrives on time, they are proactive. All on their own. The fact that they require anybody other than themselves for them to be proactive about worker safety shows clearly how & where they prioritize it & their staff. It says that they consider unnecessary risks for their staff as a cost of doing business, rather than that the "cost of doing business" could be eliminated or greatly reduced with improved systems &/or tax deductable equipment or improved equipment. How can a worker speak up when the employer or your superior on-site isn't concerned in the first place? I didnt appreciate that the director you were speaking with on the phone made a point of saying that. It ignores all of the fundamental issues that precede the point of raising concerns. The organisation or employer has to be doing enough already to make it worth anything to do so. Without fundamental changes & motivations at the business owners end & the overseeing agencies end, then the situation CANNOT change & deaths & injuries will continue, inevitably. Then there is simply one question left at that point. How many? How many lives have to be forever impacted or people killed, before the proper processes & oversight are introduced & maintained? It will either take the lives of upper management also being at risk on a daily basis or a severe financial impact. Its sad to say but that is why so many industries have & require regulation. Because without it, the lessons are soon forgotten & repeated because their greed exceeds their concern, consideration & sense of responsibility.

Thoroughly disinterested.

Your boss barely paid lip service to the idea of safety, only if an "investigating"🥱 officer shows up & asks a question, then he will pretend to take an interest though it is clear he couldnt care less.

@evryhndlestakn very well said, I agree 1000%
