Hi everyone, Does anyone have any case studies or examples from news stories of an accident that appeared to be nothing, so it was not reported, or properly investigated and because of this lack of attention resulted in either injury and financial loss or both for the company. Thanks in advance. B-bot

This may not be exactly what you are looking for but AMEC had a fatality on one of their sites but the investigation was carried out by the other contractor involved: http://www.hse.gov.uk/pr.../coi-w-rwenpoweramec.htm
