Jersey's Health and Safety Dxecutive is investigating after a man

:00:10.:00:13.

in his 60s was killed today in an apparent industrial accident.

:00:14.:00:17.

Emergency services were called to Upper Midvale Road in St Helier

:00:18.:00:21.

at 2:30pm this afternoon.

:00:22.:00:23.

From the scene, Jen Smith sent this report.

:00:24.:00:26.

Earlier today this scene looked very different, with police,

:00:27.:00:29.

fire crews and ambulances all blocking the road.

:00:30.:00:37.

The police have told the BBC a man in his 60s has died

:00:38.:00:44.

Jersey's police haven't given much information.

:00:45.:00:46.

I saw men in high visibility jackets `nd hard

:00:47.:00:49.

The man's family has been told and is being supported by police.

:00:50.:00:57.

An investigation has started into what has happened.

:00:58.:01:00.

Victims of abuse within Jersey's care system will be able to give

:01:01.:01:03.

evidence within a safe and non`hostile environment.

:01:04.:01:05.

That's the aim of the Indepdndent Jersey Care Inquiry, a publhc

:01:06.:01:08.

hearing into allegations of historic abuse, due to start this sulmer

:01:09.:01:11.

This former children's home was at the heart

:01:12.:01:14.

of a major police investigation into claims of historic child abuse

:01:15.:01:18.

Seven prosecutions were madd, but seven years on, some victims

:01:19.:01:25.

still feel they've never received the justice they deserve.

:01:26.:01:29.

Now they have a place to give them a voice.

:01:30.:01:31.

This room will be the home of the Independent Jersey C`re

:01:32.:01:34.

Inquiry, a public hearing conducted by a UK legal team with no

:01:35.:01:39.

Even though it?s an open inpuiry, efforts have been made to encourage

:01:40.:01:45.

Most witnesses will give evhdence from this chair, but

:01:46.:01:51.

as it is a sensitive and delicate issue, some may not have thd

:01:52.:01:54.

So they have the option of keeping their identity private and

:01:55.:02:02.

There is also an option of a video link so the legal team

:02:03.:02:08.

can hear from all those involved, even if they're not in the hsland.

:02:09.:02:15.

This is a delicate subject latter we are dealing with, child abuse over

:02:16.:02:18.

Sensitivities are obvious and so a lot of thought has been given

:02:19.:02:24.

in relation to the way the proceedings will be conducted

:02:25.:02:27.

and the environment in which evidence will be given.

:02:28.:02:31.

The Jersey Care Leavers Association hopes this will mean

:02:32.:02:34.

as many people as possible will come forward, no matter how diffhcult.

:02:35.:02:37.

We now need those people to come back out and tell their story

:02:38.:02:49.

People came forward initially when this came out, and as a restlt they

:02:50.:02:54.

were ridiculed in attack. We now need those people to come

:02:55.:02:56.

back out and tell their story This is

:02:57.:02:59.

the only way it is going to work. The public hearings are due to

of the year. Warm for some, but thundery for others. This line of

really intense thunderstorms moved through. Large hail and gusty winds

and rain as well. That moved away and now we look towards the south
