The Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians (UCATT) commissioned the  £100,000 sculpture as part of its  campaign for a new corporate killing charge. Sculptor Alan Wilson created the figure which sports a hard hat, weighs 300kg and holds a spirit level.

UCATT general secretary Alan Ritchie, who unveiled the sculpture, said: “"Our union will continue campaigning for a new law so that individual directors and senior managers are held accountable for accidents at work."
