Developing a genuine safety culture within an organisation is extremely difficult.
This is just one example of the absence of such a culture within the organisations responsible for those cranes.

I just hope that an appropriate HSE official was watching and will impose suitable penalties come Monday.

Not unusual for renewables to be producing the majority of power on the weekend, significant reduction in industrial consumption.

Storm Ciara: Flyaway trampolines cause rail delays.

Flyaway trampolines caused rail chaos when Storm Ciara blew them on to tracks across England.
[i]
All services were stopped between Bedford and Luton after a trampoline struck a train and reportedly became stuck in overhead wires.

Trains into London were delayed when trampolines flew on to lines at Bickley and Chelsfield.

Network Rail asked people living close to railway lines to fix trampolines to the ground to ensure passenger safety.

Steve White at Thameslink told the BBC there had been three trampolines on the network during Storm Ciara.

"I believe this trampoline [near Luton] broke up and deposited one part on the fast line overhead lines and other parts on the slow line," he said.
