Golden helmet for colas employee
June 1st 2007 Steve Glover, an electrician
working for Colas, has been
awarded the Centurion
Golden Helmet for surviving
an industrial accident
without a fatal or serious
injury, while wearing a
Centurion Safety Products'
1125 safety helmet.
The accident occurred in
spite of safety standards
being rigorously adhered to.
A cast iron cap from an old
lamp column had somehow
split over the years and
suddenly fell apart when the
column was been lifted by
crane to a height of about
9m.
One half, weighing 900gm
hit Glover on the head.
Thanks to his helmet, the
only injury he sustained was
a cut to the back of the
neck caused by a piece of
metal flicking under the
helmet rim. More articles from Centurion Safety Products Ltd: |
