I will have a look at the worksafe powers under the act.

They are tied into shooting though aren't they... Powder storage for example is covered under Worksafe regs not firearms acts I'm pretty sure?
Something similar for operating a range no doubt.

Are there any actual EMPLOYEES being paid a wage at this range ?
If not, how can it be a workplace.

OK Cavok has answered the question in the affirmative as there are employees present but it still seems a bit odd they are involved in a sporting situation that didn't involve an employee.
But are you sure it applies everywhere as not every range or sport has employees, only volunteers etc and its a sport not your occupation.
Otherwise, every accident in every sport would require investigation by OHS and surely that doesn't happen in NSW.
Our Occupational Safety and Heath Act is precisely that. It only applies to work environments.

From very reliable range information, the person injured was a friend of the shooter who was participating in the rifle shooting, sitting I am advised and he sat behind the shooter, a ricocheted. Not an employee or other paid person, just an unfortunate spectator, who from all counts is very with a bruise to the stomach area, the round DID NOT penetrate. The incident was handled by the manager and his organisation of trained personnel who dealt with the incident etc.
