Blackpool Company Fined Over Death
Magistrates have ordered a R P Tyson Construction, a Blackpool contractor, to pay more than £22,000 after an employee died while working at the Hutton Grammar School near Preston. Anthony Isherwood was crushed to death by a steel beam on November 29, 2004. Construction companies are being warned that they should have proper risk assessments carried out, updated, and maintained during construction.
The Health and Safety Executive Inspector, Roger Jamson, said that "it is important that anyone in control of a construction site assesses the particular risks involved at their specific site of work and that this is kept up to date as circumstances change."
