                              Ken 
                                Chalk died when the FLT he was driving overturned. 
                                Elsome Engineering Ltd failed to ensure the safety 
                                of their employees using FLTs to move lengths 
                                of steel stock in the yard, in which 18" 
                                deep excavations had been made. There was no fence/barrier 
                                around the excavations, no information or instructions 
                                were given to the enployees about the excavations 
                                and the use of seat belts was not enforced and 
                                no assessment of the risk was made. |
