A mother whose son was killed tragically in a workplace accident has told a court that her son would not want his death to harm “his comrades” on the site. On the day in question, Mr Wolfe was coming on site when he was caught between the hoarding and an excavator which was moving stones. “That’s how I know that Harvey would not want his death to harm these men – his comrades,” she concluded. Mr Kerins further agreed that all the men in the company had been deeply affected by Mr Wolfe’s death and had required and been given counselling. The court heard that since the accident, the company has increased the number of its health and safety officers from one to three.
