Posted By garyh Anyone remember the series "Challenge Anneka"? My boss has a new version..........I am being asked to get detail on a case (which may have made precedent) where a ("roller?) door collapsed. The engineer (Andrew??) made a valid defence of some sort that he did all he could. CDM regs were involved? Does anyone have a summary of this? Many thanks

Posted By Charley Farley-Trelawney garyh There are a couple of cases in the last 5 years or so one involved a child the other was a crush event, both successfully prosecuted by the HSE. I am not sure there was a precedence in either case though, both involved roller door collapses. Try the following to assist: HSE Prosecution Case F130000447 HSE Prosecution Case F030000481 There was also an incident in October 2004 involving a fall of 4.5 metres from pallets whilst working on a roller door, no SSOW was in place at the time. Sorry couldn't be of more help, as you said "challenge Anneka" CFT

Posted By peter gotch Hi Gary, If you google pages from the UK for "Andrew Allan" collapse should take you to article in the Oxford Mail. Very expensive "not guilty" case. Regards, Peter
