NT workplace safety inspectors to use body worn cameras

NT WorkSafe inspectors have incorporated body worn cameras (BWC) into their operational equipment after a successful trial last year.

The Acting Executive Director of NT WorkSafe stated that the choice to integrate BWC into the safety regulator’s continuous operations was made after a thorough assessment of its effectiveness and efficiency throughout the trial phase.
