Shea Ryan, 10, was able to enter a construction site through an insecure fence
A boy fell through a manhole cover to his death after a contractor failed to implement adequate safety measures. Shea Ryan, 10, slipped on a ladder inside the hole close to a play park near his home in Glasgow’s Drumchapel on July 16, 2020.
The prosecutor said: “Shea began to climb down the ladder where he slipped and fell. From the position of the ladder, he fell to the water below.” The distance between the ladder and the bottom of the manhole was 6.3 metres. An officer brought Shea to the surface and performed CPR before he was taken to the Royal Children’s Hospital but he could not be saved. The cause of death was noted as 'head injury by drowning'.
The company was also found not to have kept the existing measures under review. They were further criticised for not having double fencing on the area of the site.
