Looks like Coleman's have a big problem at the former Didcot power station site where a building has collapsed and at least one man is dead

Mr HSE will be preparing a big prosecution even as we see events unfold here.

Re: Coleman & Co
Was it a collapse or an explosion - from accumulated coal dust maybe?
Think that Coleman have a good record when it comes to safety but they will be under the HSE microscope on this one.

Not sure at this time but I guess we will soon learn more details; sadly I don't hold out much hope for the missing men.

Re: Coleman & Co
Bad episode. Wouldn't wish that on anyone. My guess is that too much was taken out which left the structure unsound.

Sad affair,
Whatever the cause my thoughts are for the families of the dead, missing and injured.

Re: Coleman & Co
Yes Fred and Clive I agree with you on both accounts a sad tragedy that can take place even when carried out by a professional company like Coleman's; demolition like construction are still a dangerous trades and risk assessments can never eliminate human nature.
