Dear Sir/Madam, We write to formally notify you of a workplace incident that occurred on site on 10 May 2026, and to document the subsequent verbal instruction issued by your representative. HSE Incident At approximately [time], an operator sustained a medical treatment injury when stepping down from an excavator, rolling their ankle severely. The injured worker was immediately provided first aid on site and subsequently transported to the local hospital for medical treatment. A formal incident investigation is currently underway in accordance with our safety management procedures and WHS regulatory requirements. Verbal Instruction - Work Stoppage At 12:32 hours on 10 May 2026, your Client Representative MR W issued a verbal instruction for an immediate safety pause to reset the work crew and review working areas and housekeeping standards across the site. This instruction resulted in a complete work stoppage of 9 hours duration. This record is made to document verbal instructions given by the Client Representative. The Contractor reserves the right to claim additional cost and/or time associated with compliance with this instruction. Extension of Time Notice We hereby put the Principal on notice of a potential Extension of Time claim arising from the client-directed work stoppage. While we acknowledge that reasonable incident response time is part of our safety obligations, the extended 9-hour safety pause directed by your representative constitutes a compensable delay event under the contract. The work stoppage resulted in: - 31 hours of personnel standing time across 3 crew members - Standing time for 2 plant items (excavator and grader) - Loss of 9 hours scheduled production - Impact to the critical path and project program Commercial Impact The Contractor reserves its rights to claim additional time and cost associated with the client-directed work stoppage, including but not limited to standing time costs for personnel and plant, and any consequential delays to the project completion date. We will provide you with a detailed time impact assessment and cost substantiation in due course. We trust that normal operations can resume following completion of our incident investigation and implementation of any additional safety measures deemed necessary. Yours faithfully, [Contractor Representative]
