As a butcher, Bruce Saunders had a "safety first" approach at work before his body was found in a woodchipper, a
court has heard.
Roser and Koenig told the property's owner after the tragedy that Saunders had been an "absolute idiot on the day" and had been standing on the chipper, leaning back into it, the Brisbane Supreme Court has heard.
Graham's friend Leonie Whyte also earlier told the jury that Koenig and Roser said Saunders' death was an accident after he had been "messing around" with machinery and "wasn't being very careful".
However, work colleagues on Friday said Saunders was safety conscious, always wore protective gear and was careful around band saws as a butcher.
However, work colleagues on Friday said Saunders was safety conscious, always wore protective gear and was careful around band saws as a butcher.
"He was good, always wore his mesh glove, safety was always first with him," Joseph Sciberas told the jury.
Fellow butcher Ross Mills told the court that Saunders would definitely not act recklessly at the workplace.
"He was very tidy, not clumsy, really careful working with the band saw," he said.
