When: June 17th, 2012

How: Crew members ran away whilst overhanging staging and metal framework crashed on stage just before a Radiohead concert. The stage injured three workers when it collapsed an hour before the gates to the sold out Radiohead concert were opened. The weight of the roof was hastily approved by a structural engineer (i.e he was in a rush to get the stage set up as oppose to ensuring that the stage scaffolding can support the roof and framework).

Prevention Suggestions: Ensure that all structural plans, staging, rigging and execution before and during set up is done effectively, safely and efficiently

Where: Colliston Primary School, Arbroath, Scotland

When: March 27th, 2016

How: A teacher at a school was walking to a different class room in between lessons. At the school there are walkways for people to move around the school. One of the walkways had been broken and not marked. The teacher tripped over the broken part of the walkway as it wasn't obvious that it was broken. As the teacher fell she landed on on her arm and broke her elbow.

Possible Solutions to prevent this situation:
*- Fix walkways before any dramatic injury can occur
*-Provide barriers around the broken walkway
*-Better maintain the walkway so no brakes occur

When: November 27th 2015

Where: Cooloongup Australia WA

How: Energy Safe prosecutor Jane Godfrey said John Derek Vickery was employed by APW Electrical at the time when he was in charge of an electrical apprentice as they worked on a home in Cooloongup on September 6, 2013.

She said Vickery was working in a different room from the apprentice when the accident happened.

The victim (who was 17 years old at the time) was doing live work on a surface socket outlet when he received a shock to his face from a live cable.

How to possibly have prevented the injury:

if the worker had been told all the WHS and OHS laws and policies to the apprentice then the apprentice would of had more knowledge being safe within the workplace and most probably would not have gotten shocked/another way would have been for the apprentice to be supervised when doing tasks.

On a rainy afternoon on May 30, 2013, the truck driver was driving a Hogan's Heavy Haulage work truck with a trailer on the back and pulled into the Marlborough Caltex truck stop for a rest break, and to check his load.

Mr Atkinson, 59, climbed onto the step-deck trailer which was carrying a chock trailer to readjust one of the chains.

The trailer had hydraulic oil on it and it was also raining. This caused Atakinson to slip off the trailer and fall on his shoulder.
Mr Atkinson is suing Hogan's Heavy Haulage for $615,996.10 for personal injury and losses sustained as a result of the alleged breach of duty of care by his employer as they "failed to take reasonable care to avoid foreseeable risk of injury to Mr Atkinson while he was carrying out his employment duties", the claim said.

Solutions: better shoes, better training, slip-proof mats, towels to wipe up oil.
