The Crown Office and Health and Safety Executive have joined fire and police services in investigating the Shore Recycling blast which killed a worker and injured another.
Speaking at First Minister’s Questions yesterday, Nicola Sturgeon confirmed the probe, adding that previous blazes at the Perth facility had resulted in reviews of safety measures.
She said: “I extend my deepest sympathies to the family of the individual who sadly passed away following the fire at Shore Recycling plant in Perth.
“Let me put on record my gratitude to our fire service and all who worked at the scene of this fire.
“The fire service confirmed previous incidents resulted in the review of on-site safety measures. They have initiated a joint investigation with the Crown Office and Police Scotland.
“It would be inappropriate to comment further until investigations conclude, but it is important that investigations do take place.”
A 46-year-old worker was sadly pronounced dead at the scene and his colleague rushed to Ninewells Hospital with serious injuries after the explosion and fire at Friarton Bridge Park at 12.40am on Tuesday.
His condition has been described as stable.
The fire was the third at the recycling centre – which deals with Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), meaning any product with a plug, cable or battery including fridges– in the past two years.
A spokesman for the Crown Office told the PA yesterday: “The Procurator Fiscal has received a report in connection with the death of a 46-year-old man in Friarton, Perth on February 28, 2023.
“A joint investigation by Police Scotland and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is ongoing and once complete will be fully considered by the Crown’s Health and Safety Investigations Unit
