Vic building regulator charged over inspector's death

The regulator should have known the conduct would have placed the inspector at risk of psychological injury, WorkSafe says. 

The person took their own life in May last year. 

The building authority has been charged with recklessly engaging in conduct that placed another person in danger of serious injury.

Another charge of failing to provide or maintain a workplace that was safe and without risks to health was also laid.

The case has been listed for a filing hearing at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on October 26.

The Victorian Building Authority has been approached for comment.
