It's believed a digger fell through a concrete floor at a property in Grosvenor Square yesterday afternoon - killing one man and injuring another. They were both workers for the site contractor McGee. Chief Executive Declan Sherry today named the deceased as Lithuanian national Dainius Rupsys.
The incident involved a piece of machinery that was demolishing a concrete floor slab of around 12 square metres when the floor slab gave way and fell to the next level down. It would be irresponsible to comment further until a full investigation has been completed by the Health and Safety Executive. Work has been suspended while this is ongoing. We will of course provide our full support and co-operation to the investigating authorities.
