Crooked Pedestrian Crossing At Westfield Mount Druitt - Is This For Crooked Pedestrians?

It seems that at Westfield Mount Druitt wants you to read signs at a slight angles or be a crooked pedestrian! I've watched this sign for a few months and it is always ignored for maintenance and improvements. I'm sure this sign has been there a few years, so the neglect from Westfield Mount Druitt Management is obviously meant to be this way until there is a potential accident!

Under the Australian Work Health and Safety Act and Regulation , the car park must have regular work place inspections to investigate the workplace pick up potential risks, risk assess it and then eliminate the potential risks. Time and time again, there is that unconcerned view that, 'It doesn't matter, no one will pick it up.

In fact, if they can't do their  job, then the community will do their job for them. As a former Chair of a Work Health and Safety Committee, I understand the process and unbeknown to them, I will conduct one and report back!

In the mean time, we hope they fix up this pedestrian crossing sign, to make pedestrians see the sign straight as well as preventing vehicular accidents. Maybe other stakeholders can follow this through to make sure Westfield Mount Druitt comply to this request.

We also notes that Westfield Mount Druitt have not changed as previously reported. Check out Westfield Mount Sign - not attended too after 1 year.
