These are simple and part of Workplace Health and Safety Acts and Regulations. There is no stipulated evacuation assembly areas/points all around Westfield Mount Druitt that I could see. That is, there is no designated areas where both employees of Westfield, their tenants, employees of tenants and shoppers of Mount Druitt will know where to go, in case of an emergency evacuation.

Another issue that may not please the regulators of the Workplace Health and Safety Act is to question if there are regular practice runs of emergency plans undertaken, assessed and reviewed under the Work Cover Code of Practice, Managing the work, environment and facilities Click here and check Page 33 ,during operational hours.  What this means (which can be disturbing to business and shoppers), is regular practice runs of Fire Emergency Plans. I never hear from anyone that this is being done during normal shopping hours. That is when it should occur!

Some people may  think it is a lot of demands placed on Westfield Mount Druitt, but what would be said if there was an actual incident where this Emergency Plan is placed into operation and no one knew what to do or one part of the plan was not covered, which resulted in accidents and loss of life?
