A major newspaper report on the death of a Fletcher Concrete employee has raised public awareness of management responsiveness and the price of serious breaches.
Esera Visesio, known as “Ezra”, died at Stresscrete’s South Auckland yard when a wire rope on a gantry crane snapped, dropping the 5800kg precast concrete panel it was lifting, the Sunday Times reported in its 2300 word feature “Death of a working man” on July 8, 2007.
