After SafeWork NSW successfully pushed for the filing of a criminal prosecution as well, the care provider entered a guilty plea in the NSW District Court on Monday.
Regarding Ms. Lucas, it has acknowledged one count of violating its basic duty of health and safety.
The accusation against Ms. Lucas for not informing the workplace authority of her injuries right away was dropped.
According to records filed with the court, the regulator claimed that Ms. Lucas, whose health made her susceptible to burns, was at risk of being washed in water that was too hot.
The organization was accused of engaging in careless or hazardous behavior by neglecting to follow safety protocols, such as conducting hot water system audits or using a thermometer to confirm the temperature.
