I must admit I find the 'shortcuts should be investigated by WorkCover' bit a bit bizarre .... What about the original 'works at height' done installing them, should that be investigated? That whole approach could cause some serious problems down the line- like where do you stop? Most rings being put in are in no way certified as fit for use, or tested and tagged, let alone put in by qualified HA workers. And if 'amateur' bolters should not do the clean up work, maybe they shouldn't be putting them in either!
And scaffolding?? Seems like a bit of overkill to me, is that what you would use to install bolts there?
I'm not aware of any issue of structural issue with the arch but will check that one out tmw.

And I would suggest that those of you who have not ever looked at the POM should do so, as it may answer a lot of your questions and dispel some of the arguments raised ....
