- Decision
- Carried
Conference is aware of an incident that occurred in Scottish Water in 2012 which could have had very serious consequences.
A Worker was lone working and left his mobile phone in his van while accessing a building which subsequently trapped him through a faulty door.
It was several hours before this worker could be rescued due to being un-contactable and brought into question procedures in place.
This Conference calls on WET Executive to devise a checklist for Branches to use with their employers to try to minimise the risk of similar occurrences happening again.
