Aurora chief executive Peter Davis wrote to then Energy Minister Matthew Groom in May 2014, stating "Aurora has conducted comprehensive searches of its electronic and hard copy records... and has been unable to locate any relevant records regarding the matter", TasNetworks chief executive Lance Balcombe said.

Current or former employees who think they may be affected can visit tasnetworks.com.au or worksafe.tas.gov.au or phone 1300 366 322.
