CONSTRUCTION FATALITIES AUGUST 2011

Latest HSE records reveal drop in construction related deaths during August 

HSE publish each month the in-year details of all deaths at work under their jurisdiction including those occurring on construction projects.

This information is ‘as reported’ by third parties and does not purport to be a formal statistical release.

Our analysis of the HSE reports shows that one death occurred during ’construction work’ during August 2011. See below. There were seven deaths during August 2010.

  1. 16/08/2011 Barry Tyson – fall from height;

We are aware of what would appear to be further ’construction’ sector death during August which is not included in the HSE data for August. The death arose from an incident involving a mobile crane on an access road.

 Comment

We use these details, in conjunction with press reports etc, to establish a picture of construction project deaths each month. Subsequent HSE investigation may determine that some are not reportable under RIDDOR.
