Posted By: Anonymous Birkenhead shipyard to be prosecuted over death - 24th Jan 2012 11:44pm
Cammell Laird is facing prosecution following the death of a worker.
The Birkenhead shipyard has been charged with breaching health and safety rules after employee Robert Dunroe became trapped while driving a forklift truck.

The 62-year-old welder was operating the truck on August 18, 2010, when he was crushed against a lifting beam used on a crane.

Now the Health and Safety Executive has charged the Campbeltown Road-based company with breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

A statement from the HSE says the first hearing is due to take place at Wirral Magistrates’ Court next Thursday, February 2.
