Public liability insurance holders have again been given the starkest warning about working at height after a construction worker has died.
The Newham Recorder reported that Shaun Scurry, 39, died at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel a week after his accident at Temple Mill Lane building site on December 9th.
Mr Scurry suffered fatal injuries after becoming trapped between a steel beam and an industrial lift at the site, which is owned by developer Westfield.
The Health and Safety Executive has launched an investigation into the accident.
A spokesperson for Mr Scurry's employer, Firesafe Installations, said: "Firesafe Installations and all Shaun's colleagues were shocked by the accident and injuries he sustained when working on the site and are now deeply saddened to learn of his subsequent death. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family."
Public liability insurance holders have been given numerous warnings over the past couple of months about the dangers of working at height, with prosecutions being served against firms involved in crane collapses, scaffolding accidents and roof falls.
