Hydro site accident 131

Posted on Thursday, 23 October 2008 02:45PM by Editor
A worker has been seriously injured at Hochtief Glendoe's Scottish hydro-electric scheme. The incident follows revelations that just weeks ago another man was killed on the same site.

The employee in question is understood to have broken both of his legs after his vehicle overturned and tumbled down the side of the dam wall.

The contractor was issued with a prohibition notice ordering them to stop using all of their vehicles so safety checks can be carried out.

The Health and Safety Executive has began to investigate. They are also also conducting an inquiry into the death of Ondrej Hladik, 46, from Prague, who was killed last month in an accident involving a forklift truck at the site.
