'I got a phone call to say the guy had been badly injured in an accident. By the time I got to the site he was dead'

It's the day every construction site manager dreads. The day when word comes in that there's been an accident on site. Dave will never forget when one of his friends died while working for his company. "I got a phone call to say the guy had been badly injured in an accident involving an excavator," he recalls. "By the time I got to the site he was dead. I'd known him for many years and I was absolutely gutted." But Dave had to push his feelings to one side. He was the boss and had to take charge. "Obviously at the time I had to maintain some sort of composure because of what was going on on site and having to deal with it," he says.
