A boy fell through a manhole cover to his death after a contractor failed to implement adequate safety measures. Shea Ryan, 10, slipped on a ladder inside the hole close to a play park near his home in Glasgow’s Drumchapel on July 16, 2020.

An officer brought Shea to the surface and performed CPR before he was taken to the Royal Children’s Hospital but he could not be saved. The cause of death was noted as 'head injury by drowning'.

The company was also found not to have kept the existing measures under review. They were further criticised for not having double fencing on the area of the site.
The hearing was told that the fencing had been subject to vandalism in the past and that the site had been breached on six occasions. Bolstering the fencing had
