Management at TasTAFE ignored dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide at a campus for months in the lead-up to the poisoning of students and a staff member, a damning report alleges.

An air quality assessment report commissioned by TasTAFE found blocked air filters and poor airflow allowed carbon monoxide to peak to dangerously high levels inside the automotive workshops at the Campbell Street campus.
