WRC rejects security officer’s discrimination and victimisation claims

The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Isaac Ogimwonwi’s claims that G4 Security discriminated against him on disability and race grounds or victimised him. Ogimwonwi said fumes from heating in security huts made him feel unwell and that the company failed to move him to a centrally heated site. The adjudicator found no evidence establishing a disability or need for accommodation, insufficient facts to support race discrimination, and no protected act by Ogimwonwi for the victimisation claim. No award was recorded.
