    Report summary

    Michael Ernest Kerslake sustained fatal injuries while using a petrol-driven brush cutter with a metal blade near an electricity pylon at Colley Lane Industrial Estate on 7 September 2023. The principal concern was that no risk assessment warned workers about the risks of using machinery near electrical equipment, and no such assessment remained in place.

    How this respondent position was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Further safety work at the sold incident site cannot be undertaken because the respondent has no influence over its tenants.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “Kenny & Murphy Ltd sold the incident site together with the main part of the Estate in March, 2024 and so have no influence over those tenants. Kenny & Murphy Ltd currently own one site at Bridgwater and a 50% interest in two sites at Southampton. We have undertaken an assessment on all three sites and submit that they differ from the incident site as they only have one tenant per site and there are no shared areas outside of their individual control and responsibility. None of the sites has any H Pole within its boundary or any transformer to handle incoming electricity at the same 11000v level. However, I have taken steps to discuss with the tenants the concerns raised by yourself regarding working safely around electricity and have also provided the tenants with the NGED "Stay Away Stay Safe!" leaflet and a copy of the HSE Electricity at Work Safe Working Practice document HSG85.”
