Latest incident at DP World deepens Unite's concerns about safety
at Southampton docks
13th July 2009
A Unite member and crane operator has been left seriously ill in
hospital after an incident operating a crane while servicing a
container ship.
The incident took place this morning (Monday) at DP World's
Southampton container terminal.
Matt Tipper, Unite regional industrial organiser, said: “This is
the second serious incident in 2009 involving crane operations in
DP World and we are obviously concerned over the health and safety
implications for the workers there.
"This is of paramount importance to us and we will fully assist
in the HSE investigation also providing full support to our member
and his family at this very worrying time for them in everyway we
can.”
