Felt exploited - Production Assistant Dinosaur Designs Employee Review

Hi .....? Thanks for the feedback. I'm pleased we make you look good on your CV. As an employee you have attended and signed off on our monthly toolbox meetings and witnessed our weekly plant inspections. I don't understand how you say we have such poor safety. You have also been trained in all work procedures and signed an SOP for all work performed, especially working with equipment. To jump on here and use "unsafe" is both incorrect and unfair. We continue to manufacture in Australia where the costs and wages are high compared to competitors who manufacture offshore. Not many Australian companies in our market do this, but we love this country and remain committed to supporting our people. We pay above award rates, with defined pay bands commensurate with skill and experience. You were always paid in full, on time, as agreed. We take Health and Safety extremely seriously. We have been inspected by Safe Work. Upon their unexpected arrival to investigate a specific complaint, they found nothing wrong in that area. They then walked through the entire building and found a few minor housekeeping issues, which have been addressed. The full report is available to all staff. To accuse us of being "Classist" is bizarre, I am 3rd generation Australian and very proud of living in a classless country that values attitude and talent over background. This comment beggars belief when directed at us with an incredibly diverse workforce from all walks of life. StephenOrmandy Co Founder Dinosaur Designs

Hi .....? Thanks for the feed back. I must say given you attended our monthly toolbox meetings and witnessed our weekly plant inspections I don't understand how you say we had such poor safety. You would have had training and signed off on a SOP for any work carried out especially with equipment. We continue to manufacture in Australia where the costs and wages are high compared to our competitors who manufacture offshore. Not many Australian companies are doing this but we love this country and remain committed to supporting people and for you to jump on here and use language like "harsh" and "hostile" is very unfair. We take Health and Safety extremely seriously. Stephen Ormandy
