I have a Safeworking ticket valid till Nov16.

An instruction was issued which states:

- "every 3 months (Quarter) proof of Safeworking documentation need to be submitted, otherwise, lose Safeworking ticket."

I sent the Safeworking documentation to the wrong email address and the same email was sent to the safety coach of Safe Work Australia, yet I still lost it.

2 issues;

1- no warnings/notifications were sent prior to the end of every quarter.

2- the safety coach accepted the documentation as the proof should include the original email which satisfies her criteria. However, her manager didn't accept the documentation and considered it as a late submission.

My question is:

1- Can they cancel Safeworking tickets even though there is a proof (sent to the wrong email) that it was sent on time?

2- Can they cancel tickets without sending any prior warnings/notifications?

1. Yes.
2. Looks like you had notification, via the issued instruction.
