    Report summary

    Martin Geoffrey McGlasson, a plant operative, died at the scene on 2 September 2011 after a nearly three-tonne concrete staircase he was slurrying fell onto and crushed him. The principal concerns were the unsupported method of working, debris and incorrect batten placement potentially causing instability, and a mismatch between the method used on the shop floor and the arrangements described in risk assessments. The report also identified that similar methods were widespread and that inexpensive safer alternatives were available.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Risk of fatal accidents from the widespread method of work

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) The Health and Safety Director for Thomas Armstrong Holdings Ltd gave evidence that the method of work undertaken by ACP prior to Mr McGlasson’s death is in widespread use throughout the industry. Thus a number of your members are at risk of deaths occurring in their establishments in similar circumstances to Mr McGlasson’s death, and presumably at risk of having Prohibition Notices served on them by the HSE. ”
