This follows an investigation by the HSE into an incident that occurred in December 2005, in which John Davies, David Powell and Noah Eastwood suffered electrical flash burns.

It was found that site personnel were not experienced in working on, or close to, live exposed equipment. Personal tools were used on site but were un-insulated, as the men concerned had no requirement for them in their normal line of work.
     
After the hearing, Judge Cripps commented: “Skanska's system of management failed, there was no proper risk assessment or method statement prepared there was nothing in writing to the workman involved and there was failure in the management to follow procedure for H&S. Full credit for early plea and new procedures now in place."
