Contractor fell to his death during company annual maintenance period
The Rugby Observer has reported that a contractor has died at a Cemex cement manufacturing plant during the annual shutdown. The dead man is believed to be a 29-year-old scaffolder. Another man suffered a broken arm and had to be taken to hospital for treatment.
Cemex community affairs manager Ian Southcott said:
“Regrettably one person has died and our thoughts and sympathies are with their family and friends. Cemex is cooperating fully with all of the investigations taking place.”
Paramedics arrived on the scene to find the man with a serious head injury and in cardiac arrest. A spokeswoman for West Midlands ambulance service said:
“Sadly, despite their best efforts, nothing could be done to save the man and he was pronounced dead at the scene.”
