The lawyer for the Australian Paramedics Association says an inquest into the death of a paramedic in 2016 will reveal inadequacies within Ambulance Tasmania that are 'quite shocking'.

She pointed to witness evidence that there was a lack of "appropriate management, discipline and welfare support by AT for Mr Crump and other employees who might require it".

"They haven't met their responsibilities under work, health and safety laws to identify and manage psychological risk. "It may well be that significant, causal or contributing circumstances leading to Mr Crump’s death involve a failure of AT to appropriately manage him and, if necessary, discipline him or terminate his employment," she wrote."Similarly, inadequate responses by AT to the two earlier known cases of stealing medication from AT stores may have allowed Mr Crump to more easily access medication, including the fatal quantity of medication stolen before his death.
