Thanks for that pointer Merv I have cut and pasted that article. Are there any similar projects In the English recent history that have resulted in high fatalities?

Without specifically mentioning those responsible for the enormous project of upgrading Britains railways, no I can't think of anything comparable.

If you visit the "listen again" section then the whole radio programme is online.

Probably the most shocking aspect of this was the despondent defence from those responsible for the project, who were basically saying "well what can you do?". It was as if it were completely out of their hands and the rotten workers were deliberately killing and disabling themselves.

This is no surprise at all to me. I have a cousin who has just returned to England after 25 years working in Greece and Turkey. The stories she has told me about health and safety in those countries and what happens to people who complain (it’s worse than just being sacked in some cases) would make my hair curl…… if I had any.

I seem to remember that the building of the Channel tunnel was not that brilliant when it came to casualties. I know when I did my MSc one of the tutors showed us that, at the design stage etc 'they', based on what I don't know, expected 9 fatalaties. They were apparantly quite thrilled that 'they' only had 8. Kind of puts a whole new slant on 'under budget'. Which begs another question how can they be called accidents if 'they' 'budgeted' for them?
