Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 224
S Martin – 23 December 2010
Fatal Fall
Please see enclosed self explanatory incident report from Johnson Controls and guidance
on working in the dark from Gilbarco.
This incident highlights the reasons why suitable barriers are imperative around work
areas, especially at night or when the site is unmanned. It also highlights the need to
ensure you have adequate illumination to carry out all works - if you are struggling to
see, stop and arrange additional illumination.

About Risk
Risk management is a big step towards accident prevention; however, it is dependent on the risk firstly
being identified, then controlled. We need safety awareness to be instinctive and form an integral part
of both our working and home lives; it is this, in turn, that may save the lives of others. Remember: if
shared, risks can be mitigated before they pose a threat.
If you have any queries regarding the Safety Bulletin content or require further information please
contact any staff member of Xmo Strata Ltd.
