A 26-year-old-man died after he fell through fragile false ceiling tiles while he was dismantling mobile platforms as part of a refurbishment project. Simple, practicable steps could have been taken to prevent anyone falling through the tiles, but these were ignored.

President of FIEC
"Health and Safety has been high on the agenda of the construction industry for a very a long time. It is everyone's responsibility to avoid accidents on construction sites, which typically range from falls from heights to the unsafe handling of dangerous substances. FIEC re-confirms its long-standing and ongoing determination to contribute to a continuous real improvement in the sector's health and safety record among young construction workers. This will have a leverage effect on all construction site workers."

Wilhelm Küchler, President of FIEC
