Unite the union<\/a> has called on the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to publish its initial findings into the causes of the fatal crane collapse in Bow<\/h2>\n

In July a crane collapsed in Bow<\/a>, London which led to one death and the destruction of many homes.<\/p>\n

Unite has written to the HSE urging it to not to delay publication of\u00a0the initial findings into what caused the accident in order to lift the cloud of suspicion which currently hangs over the crane operators involved, the company itself, Wolffkran Ltd.<\/p>\n

With the removal of the crane likely to take\u00a0six months<\/a>,\u00a0Unite is arguing that the local community need answers.<\/p>\n

HSE\u2019s initial findings are also important in order to ensure that similar accidents are prevented from occurring in the future.<\/p>\n

Address unanswered questions<\/h3>\n

Unite national officer for construction, Jerry Swain, said:\u00a0\u201cIt is vital that the HSE ends the delay and publishes its initial findings into the reasons why a crane tragically collapsed in Bow in July.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe HSE cannot be seen to be trying to sweep the investigation into this accident under the carpet. It is already nearly seven weeks since the accident occurred.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company concerned and the workers involved have a cloud of suspicion hanging over them and this is almost certainly unfair.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnite is the recognised union at Wolffkran. Our members are already having to operate in difficult conditions due to Covid-19 pandemic<\/a>; it is simply unfair to have unanswered questions about this accident hanging over them.<\/p>\n

\u201cEqually, the only way the industry can learn from this tragedy and ensure it is prevented from happening again is if the HSE\u2019s initial findings are published.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the HSE cannot publish their initial findings for any reason then they must publicly say why and what is causing that delay.\u201d<\/p>\n
