Church's Safety Review After Fatal Accident

Tragic accident at Church Unlimited: Pastors death sparks health and safety review The episode delves into the aftermath of a fatal accident at Church Unlimited in Glendene, West Auckland, where pastor Helen Verry lost her life due to a heavy roller door falling on her. Kathleen Woollett, a colleague present during the incident, manages the churchs response and speaks at a coroners inquest about the aftermath. Woollett admits that the church could have handled the investigation and response better, as staff were grieving and in shock. The inquest also hears from Helen Verrys husband, Tim, who raises concerns about the churchs health and safety protocols. The church maintains that regular safety checks were conducted, but no one had raised concerns about the roller door. The roller door manufacturer and installer, SDL, was prosecuted by WorkSafe New Zealand for its unsafe installation and ordered to pay fines and reparations. Woollett was questioned about her ability to be critical of the church during the investigation, explaining that her priority was to protect her staff from further pain. The inquest is ongoing.
