The coroner's concerns
1. dumper trucks not followed safety procedures
“the safety procedures were not followed, not seen by all relevant personne! (some of whom could not read) and the practice in this regard was not audited”
2. spoil heaps not managed safely
“there was no Process in place to ensure that spoil heaps were managed safely, nor any guidelines issued by the HSE in this regard”
3. driver vulnerability in dumper trucks
“the inherent open nature of trucks can nonetheless make the driver feeling vulnerable and despite the instructions which require the driver to Gloucestershire Coroner's Court,”
