Corus Fatal Accident Initial Lessons Learned

Fatal Accident

It was reported last week that an engineer had died after he was injured on Friday morning while working at the Corus steelworks in Scunthorpe in UK.

Emergency services were scrambled to the site at around 8.25 AM and police immediately cordoned off the area following the incident.

The firm said it had started a joint investigation with the Health and Safety Executive into the incident.

I have been passed on the inital feedback and lessons learned so health and safety professionals can learn from this.
