The sentence of two companies and two construction managers who were convicted of health and safety breaches after a teenage groundworker died when he was runover on a new Boston housing estate will continue tomorrow morning.
Two individuals and one company stood trial in May accused of health and safety at work breaches after a prosecution was brought by the Health and Safety Executive. D. Brown Ltd, who were the main contractors on the housing estate project, denied failing to ensure the health and safety of a person other than an employee.Darrell Tripp, who was site manager for D. Brown on the White Bridges project, denied failing to take reasonable care to ensure the health and safety of others.The prosecution said Mr Disdel did not receive an induction for the job he was doing on the day of the incident, but had received an induction on another D.
The jury heard work on three manholes was completed and Mr Disdel was lying with his body half way into a fourth manhole when their van was moved so another vehicle could use the road.The prosecution said that procedures put in place by all of the companies had been abandoned by the time Mr Disdel carried out the job.However Mr Hassall accepted some systems were in place by the two companies and described it as a “medium” culpability case for both the companies and the two individuals.
Josh’s mother described that “most days she feels like it is her that is serving a prison sentence,” and expressed her hope that defendants “feel the loss I feel.”In his statement Josh’s father, Terry Disdel, said he had contacted a director at P&R Plant Hire about his concerns over the lack of training for his son, but Josh had asked him to back off.
