The family of a man crushed to death by a 3.5 tonne industrial drill say a £10,000 fine for his bosses does not reflect the "pain and trauma" they have experienced in the last three years.
Core Cut Limited employee Derek McLean, 43, was crushed after attempting to manoeuvre a 3.5 tonne BROKK machine up a set of stairs in Glasgow's St Enoch shopping centre on August 22, 2019. Mr McLean was having difficulty gaining grip with trafficking the machine as it was being moved remotely up the stairwell of the city centre location.
The exact circumstances of the accident are said to be "unknown" but CCTV showed the experienced diamond drilling operative part way through tracking the machine. The dad-of-three was later found trapped between the machine and a concrete wall to the left of the stairwell.
