HSE: People die when the walls of holes collapse

摘要

HSE has issued a warning again about the dangers of working in excavations on construction sites. When the walls of excavations collapse, workers can be buried alive and die. The latest warning comes after an HSE Inspector opened the front door of a house where work was progressing to be confronted with what is pictured here. As a result, RS Construction UK (London) Ltd was fined £40,000 with £1,486 costs for safety failings when it appeared before Westminster Magistrates in April.
