Death of dad at Glasgow's St Enoch Centre to be probed at fatal accident inquiry
23.07.2023 - 18:17 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Fatal Accident Inquiry is to be held after a dad-of-three was crushed to death by a 3.5 tonne drill at a Scots shopping centre.
Derek McLean, 43, died at the St Enoch Centre in Glasgow after he became trapped and killed by the robotic demolition machine on August 22, 2019. The father, from Falkirk, was having difficulty gaining grip with the trafficking the device as it was being moved remotely up the stairwell of the city centre location.
His employer, Core Cut Limited, was fined £10,000 after pleading guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court for failing to make a suitable and sufficient assessment to the risks of health and safety of Mr McLean. Now, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) has confirmed a preliminary FAI hearing is set for August 15 at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
The probe will determine the circumstances around Mr McLean's death and will establish if any reasonable precautions could have been taken. It will also determine if any further precautions can be implemented in the future to minimise incidents in similar circumstances.
Procurator Fiscal Andy Shanks, who leads on fatalities investigations for COPFS, said: “The death of Derek McLean occurred while in the course of his employment and as such a Fatal Accident Inquiry is mandatory. The lodging of the First Notice enables FAI proceedings to commence under the direction of the Sheriff.
“Mr McLean’s family will continue to be kept informed of significant developments as court proceedings progress.”
