Contractors are required to ensure such constructions meet health and safety regulation standards, and that all employees who use the structures, together with members of the public in their vicinity, are safe from harm.

When incidents of this nature occur, it is vital that lessons are learned and future incidents are avoided. Similarly, if injuries are suffered as a result, victims deserve to have these recognised and suitably compensated.
