Fortescue may not be doing enough to protect the health and human rights of their workers and nearby Indigenous communities during a measles outbreak. Although Fortescue has offered booster vaccinations, FIFO workers are at heightened risk of contracting and spreading measles, especially given travel to regions with low vaccination rates, raising questions about whether employers have adequately ensured preventative protections. Vulnerable communities in WA’s north, including Indigenous populations, face increased danger from potential transmission, suggesting employers may not be sufficiently safeguarding the broader community that their operations impact. Major miners have opted not to introduce vaccine mandates, despite previous mandates for COVID-19, leading to questions about whether companies are fully meeting their duty of care obligations in an outbreak situation. These concerns collectively point to an allegation of insufficient employer responsibility in protecting workers’ right to health and preventing avoidable health risks to surrounding communities.
