Title: OCS story
Post by: Moderator David@stives on September 20, 2006, 12:41:15 pm

Hello I have been googling for the ocs accident from earlier this year and cannot seem to find it.

I think it was something to do with the death of a window cleaner in Hull ,whos picture was published in a window cleaner.

Can anyone point me to a link to the story or the posts which was put on here or another forum earlier this year.

Thanks

Dave

Jeff

That report is from a recent court case where the accident was a few years ago.

That is the right post , thanks for that, what i would also like is to find the report on the internet somewhere.
I think OCS may have put a media block on the accident until there as been a full investigation.

I have tried to paste the link you want but I'm having problems.  If you type in www.thisishull.co.uk go to their search option at the bottom of the page, type in window cleaner and it will show you the news story.

Doesn't this OCS case just say everything about how seriously H&S is taken when the court costs outweight the actual fine itself!!

Surely it should be a much heavier fine??
