Construction companies are being reminded about the importance of carrying out full risk assessments.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has issued the reminder in the wake of the death of two construction workers.

WD Bennett's Plant & Services was fined £125,000 and ordered to pay costs of £264,299 for breaches in health and safety standards that lead to the death of two men.

Peter Collingwood, the HSE inspector who led the campaign, said that the incident was avoidable.

"It was caused by the inadequate supervision of a worker who was not trained, nor competent for the task that he was asked to undertake," he added.

The two men who died, Steve Boatman and Gary Miles, were killed in 2005 when they were flung from a crane on which they were working.

Mr Collingwood urged employers to make sure that tower crane work was "only undertaken by trained experienced and competent people who are supervised adequately".

WD Bennetts were found guilty in March of breaching health and safety.
