Christopher Sparks

1. 1. lack of approved safe loading and lifting plan

   “Ahead of the incident, there was no approved, safe loading and lifting plan in place and agreed between the two firms”

2. 2. absence of banksman supervision

   “PCR had not assigned a banksman to supervise the safe loading. Especially in the loading of loads of such weight and size as the balcony frame, there should be a banksman employed”

3. 3. lack of designated visible area for lorry driver

   “There was no clearly marked designated area established where a lorry driver can be visible at all times. The deployment of cones and signage would have assisted”

4. 4. lack of correct equipment for safe movement and loading

   “PCR Steel did not have available, from the design stage onwards, the correct equipment to move safely and load the products they manufacture”
