Daughter of Fatal Workplace Accident Victim Seeks Answers

30th June 2006

Accident at Work

Frederick Moses fell 15 feet in a tragic accident at work on 14th November 2005 and died in hospital as a result. Mr Moses was employed as a production assistant by Bulldog Products at their warehouse in Southport and sustained multiple injuries when he fell through an opening in the floor of the warehouse.

Call For Information

Gail Moses, Mr Moses’ daughter, is urgently seeking further information about how the incident came to occur and whether his employers could have prevented it.

An inquest into the accident is due to resume on 3rd July. Our lawyers, who represent Ms Moses, are working to ensure that the full facts are presented and a full range of verdicts from the coroner put to the jury, so that they can further pursue the matter on behalf of her father’s bereaved family.

The circumstances of the accident are not fully clear and Ms Moses commented: “I’ve got a great many questions about what happened that day, but I particularly want to know why my father was working where there was such a big opening in the floor. I want to know what his employers had done to prevent anyone falling through it.”

Health and Safety at Work

The number of serious and fatal workplace accidents each year is not falling fast enough. The North West has the highest number in the UK.

Calls have been made by trade unions and lawyers to increase the resources available to the HSE and toughen the laws on corporate manslaughter, to ensure that employers are providing safe workplaces and can be held fully accountable if they fail to do so.

A spokesperson for the CCA (Centre for Corporate Accountability) said of the case: “Tragic incidents like these should never happen if managers ensured safe working conditions. We hope that the full facts come out of the inquest, so that the right decisions can be made as to the company’s accountability for this death.”
