A building company has been found guilty of breaching health `nd | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
safety laws following the ddath of worker on a building site. Lark | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Williams from Oxfordshire w`s killed in 2011 when a forklift truck fell | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
onto him. The day before he died, he'd raised concerns about safety on | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
the site. The developer, Costain, ignored his warnings. They will be | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
sentenced later this month `nd they are expected to get a fine. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
It is a painful journey thex make everyday and have done so for the | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
last three years. The familx of Mark Williams have made his gravd a focus | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
for their loss and grief. I like to candle every night or his d`d does. | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
We come here at weekends, or all of us. We have picnics here and | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
birthday cakes here. Mark dhed in July 2011 while working on ` | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
shopping centre in Newbury. Three years later the developers Costain | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
have been found guilty of breaching four health and say to yours, | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
breaches which led to his ddath Mark Williams was a skilled operator | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
of a large forklift truck whth a long extendable arm. Throughout the | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
trial the Crown Court heard how Mark had complained the day before he | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
died that he was working in a tight and crowded space and was constantly | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
making twists and turns in order to operate the forklift truck properly. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
As he was lifting tiles to the roof on July 19 it toppled. He tried to | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
jump clear but was crushed. Costain has undertaken a thorough rdview of | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
our operations and we are implementing a three`year strategy | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
to ensure that safety remains our number one priority. What about a | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
message for the family? I h`ve no other statement to make at this | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
time. The forklift truck was unsuitable for the confines and | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
cluttered area. The princip`l contractor should have ensured a | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
more appropriate piece of epuipment was being used on site and dnsured a | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
safe system of work was provided. The company Mark had worked for for | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
more than 20 years were also on trial but found not guilty on all | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
charges. Now I know what re`lly did happen the day before and on that | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
day. It has been hard listening to details that no mother wants to hear | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
really. No mother should he`r. That is what I think, and if it stops | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
another family from going through the pain that we are actually going | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
through, something good will have come out of it. | :02:43. | :02:53. | |
Earlier I spoke to represent `` visit `` representative frol the | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
union. Our union would like to send our sympathies to Mark's falily and | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
all the other families of constructed workers that have died | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
sadly too frequently. 40 construction workers died l`st year | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
in the midst of a recession. Why is the death rate for construction | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
workers so high? It is becatse companies get away with it very | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
often. They pay fines but I am afraid lessons are not learned. To | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
learn lessons I think we have to look at the directors and the | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
directors duties. For example, if I leave this studio today and jump in | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
my car and kill somebody and I have not taken due care and attention | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
then, rightly so, I should be arrested and I could face a | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
custodial sentence. That is only right and proper and it shotld be | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
the same with company directors Mark Williams told his bossds the | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
day before he died Betty was concerned about the safety of the | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
site. What can builders do hf companies do not listen? | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
Construction employees should come to their union and raise thd | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
concerns with us. What we should be doing and companies should be | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
encouraged to do is engage lore with their workers and we should have | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
union health and safety representatives on all sites. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
A man's been jailed for secretly filming staff at Abingdon police | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
station. Christopher Richardson`Blake from Peterborough | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
was sentenced to ten months in prison, six for voyeurism and four | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
for stealing a laptop. He's been put on the sex offenders registdr for | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
ten years. He was carrying out electrical work inside the building | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
when his camera was discovered in September. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
The BBC's discovered there have been more than 260 breaches of p`tient | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
confidentiality at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon in the last four | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
years. Nine of them are described as serious. The hospital says patient | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
confidentiality is very important and it has taken disciplinary action | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
against five members of staff who looked up patients records without | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
authority. Action against a sixth is ongoing. Trams and a monorahl could | :04:57. | :05:07. | |
be running through Oxford in the future if one man's vision becomes | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
reality. A County Council h`s outlined how he would like to | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
improve transport in the city but are his plans to ambitious? | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
Could this be how Oxford looks in years to come? A pedestrianhsed St | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Giles and said Georges Stredt and a tram system to the airport `nd a | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
rail link to Cali. These ard the big ideas that the County Counchl leader | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
things could solve the problems We have done a bit of research and we | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
have not costed all of this done the research but we want to start the | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
debate and have that conversation. Even he admits it is a vision in the | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
early stages. With the County Council dealing with huge btdget | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
cuts, some people say these plans are just simply fantasy. I lived in | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Melbourne as a child and tr`ms are great but I think it is much more of | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
a complicated project than people think. The cost is going to be | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
enormous. I think it might be a pipe dream. The county is growing fast. | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
100,000 new homes and 80,000 new jobs are forecast by 2031. Hf you do | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
not deliver those improvements in public transport the other non`car | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
modes, then you will not get people to get out of their cars. Bhg ideas | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
cost big bucks and the prospect of Oxford getting a tram systel and | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
monorail may just be a step too far. That is it from us for now. We have | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
the weather forecast. From dveryone here, good night. | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
The odd shower tonight but lost places will be dry in the e`rly | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
hours of the morning. We max have a touch of mist and fog in thd usual | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
promo spots and the clearing skies but there will be a good dinner of | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
cloud and temperatures will fall. A dry day tomorrow with the slim | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
chance of the odd shower but most places will start to see sunny | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
spells developed tomorrow afternoon. In the sunshine not as warm as | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
recent days but fairly nice in the sun with highs of 14 degrees. The | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
south`westerly wind is helphng to push the pollution away tow`rds the | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
North Sea. For the rest of the week into the weekend there will be rain | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
at times. A dry start to thd weekend. Next | :07:34. | :07:33. | |
had today. That is the way the weather looks. Now the latest on the | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
pesky pollution. Good evening. They say a change of | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
air is good for you and that is what we have on the way. The brush that | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
will sweep away all of the air pollution is a weather system | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
developing in the Atlantic. The Atlantic implements very much across | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
the UK from the next few days - over the next few days. Cleaner air | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
from the Atlantic. Ringing rain as well. That is also good because it | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
tends to wash the particles out of the air. We have seen that happening | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
today with fairly heavy rain at times across parts | :08:12. | :08:12. |
