I doubt he thinks it is going away but nothing stopping someone doing a runner to another country away from extradition people have been doing it for decades.
Yes and in the worst cases it’s a charge of corporate manslaughter if someone dies I certain don’t want to cast any aspersions in this case as I don’t have all the facts but have first hand known of similar situations ware ones have been charged with this when an employee dies and it’s not always just large firms that end up in court on theses charges many small businesses etc have be bankrupt buy the fines and owners imprisonedWindow cleaner broke back in suspended access platform fall

Put out warning signs about trailing hoses. It might not stop someone from tripping but at least you did your best to alert people of the hose. Also use brightly coloured hose, again to to do your best to highlight the hose.
Yes that would probably be classed as not being negligent, but personally I've never seen any signs out. The latest one was this week, a two man operation, van parked on left side of the road, a well used through road of an estate. Van doors were left open, one hose was trailing to the left across a pavement and to the houses on the left, the other hose was going across the road, across the opposite pavement to the houses on the right, no signs and no signs whatsoever. I see things like this often and in my opinion they are leaving themselves open to a liable claim should anything 'out of the ordinary' go wrong, and although it might be unlikely it doesn't mean nothing will ever go wrong like the guy being talked about can now vouch for.
I think that complacency is the problem. Like you say 'you've never had a problem'... well the guy who's employee died would probably have said before the accident something along the lines of 'in 10 years of working like this we've never had a problem...' the problem came in the 11th year.
but its amazing the amount of my custys who have straight away commented on how bright they are so they obviously do the job and it makes me feel more reassured that I have gone about my work in the safest way possible. I use 3 cones also.
This is the norm, there is more chance of them getting something nicked from the van leaving the doors open.
I'm the same, just someone lifting my toolbox out of my van with tools and multiple spares would be a headache and costly to replace, never mind lifting a pole out of the van which would be £100's to replace, not just some scally though looking to make some quick money I wouldn't trust another cleaner either especially the state of some I see so my van is always locked
