Joseph Jenkinson was a sub-contractor for construction company JDM Accord on a road maintenance contract. His main work was as a banksman, to direct the traffic on the site, but he had had no training in these duties and was directed to sweep and clear up the site. Jenkinson was struck and killed by a reversing trailer when he was involved in other work. The court found that there was no site management, no site inductions or any instructions to any of the operatives about traffic management and that drivers could make up their own system of work as they went along. JMD Accord was fined £100,000 with £32,000 costs.
