- Working across Construction, Aggregates and Waste industries we are well aware of the importance of Health & Safety in the workplace. This video aims to raise awareness for company owners/directors and those of you starting out in business to understand the depth of your responsibilities once you employ staff.
After a fatality in the workplace in UK it is the Company Director that may be taken to Court and may be charged with Corporate Manslaughter by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Note: there are other types of legal action that could also be taken. (Health and Safety at Work Act 1974)
In this video we have created a dramatised fatality scene in the Ashville yard. This is followed by a mock Court scene with Prosecution Barrister Dr Tunde Okewale MBE acting as the Prosecution Barrister holding company director Daniel Louisy accountable for the death of an employee.

Spine chilling video. It just shows how we all have a responsibility to make the workplace safe. Absolutely well done to Daniel and all involved in the making of this very important message. Although nobody was hurt in the making, it brings it home how quickly situations can turn sour and affect a lot of people. Well done Ashville Team.
100% agree but it is a diversion. All HGV drivers know that safety is paramount. Who told him to do this. - Money talks. DVSA, ROSPA and HSE will come after you.
I would be interested to know if an accident occurred or fatality of a sub contractor. Who is responsible? The main contractor or is the self employed subbie and his family on their own? I worked for a company as a subbie engineer, and they ask me to do all kinds of “dangerous” tasks of which I have now left as the last job was just profit above safety, and I walked out.
@@Metal05 I'm unsure who is legally responsible as I'm not in that business. However, I would imagine there is someone responsible for the whole site and everyone working within it.
I'm glad you have been able to walk away from somewhere so dangerous but I imagine that they've now got someone else doing their dirty work.
It may be worth contacting HSE.
What a bloody video!!! This video needs to go viral, national and international!! Much better than the normal H&S courses we all go on!!! Well done everyone
Poor Terry! Is his fishing gear for sale? All joking aside I spent over 15 years specialising in H&S. A great vid showing the real consequences.
His fishing gear…you’re funny🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can i have his new hip?
Hahaha belter Terry would’ve loved this joke🙏💔
@@steedwell5774 looool
FFS 😂😂😂😂😂
Im a 54 year old man, that video brought me to tears. I was run over by a lorry 1995, the driver was not at fault, the owner was not at fault, it was me at fault !!!!!! George whom run me over has never driven a lorry to date 😞George will never listen to me when i say IT WAS ""NEVER"" Your Fault.... """I WAS THE IDIOT """ Not George!!! Nor the company he worked for, should be to blame. "It Was Me"
Mind sharing more details
That's quite noble, good man.hope all is well
@@royalwave15 As in ???
@@lordIanHouston We wan to hear if anyone got charged
@@lordIanHouston did you die bro?
As a health and safety professionals it’s so good to see someone with your influence talking about this and show it’s not all fun and games
Wow. Actually got goosebumps when Daniel shouted Terry! Daniel gonna become an actor if diesel keeps going up
Facts!
This is terrifying, and can so easily happen. I saw a guy I worked with crushed by a pallet falling off a forklift a couple of years back, broke his pelvis detached his bladder so has to pee in a bag for the rest of his life, in a wheelchair for years. All in a split second. Have eyes everywhere, and if you feel somethings not safe, walk away
These videos are pointless, us dumb chimps will be back at it tomorrow climbing under wagons to get out of the rain
It hurts to read that
Instead of walk away just inform your supervisor regarding the hazard. This will benefit your co-workers. Just my opinion 👍🏻
Thanks for driving home the seriousness of health and safety on the job site team Ashville. 👊🏾
Tremendous! 👏🏼
2mins in, that’s a deep dish already…goosebumps!
Tunde should have his own channel.
He was in Harvey Spectre/Mike Ross mode. I would not want to be cross examined by him 😬
Tunde Weekly
I got one for you: This Week At Tunde (TWAT) But in a good way no disrespect to tunde.
Tunde is a bad man only with the wig on. Lol. He did great!
@@ThePatibulum agreed 👍
As a Director of a Health and Safety Consulting Company, This was one of the best education videos which made it easy to understand and had an impact. Today is also the day the new WHS ACT comes out in Western Australia, so its such a good fit for timing to release this video!
I have been in the fire service for 20 years and unfortunately I have had to attend scenes like this on many occasions, I have seen too many people look at me and take their last breath. Everyone just wants to go home at the end of the day, Thank you to all involved in making this outstanding health and safety message
Oh no
Daniel & all your staff at Ashville, thank you so very much for putting this video and its very strong message out there. If this does not ram home that no matter what business you are in, safety must be the top priority, then people need to take the blindfold off. Earning a wage is good but life, love, and family ARE EVERYTHING! 👍
This is an Ashville masterpiece, well done Daniel, you’ve shown a side of running a business which most people wouldn’t even think of and put it across in such an engaging way, as “boring” Health & Safety is it’s important in dangerous workplaces, I’m a tree surgeon myself and god forbid I ever put my boss in such position. Made me rethink how I cut some corners here and there. Respect 👊🏻
Brilliant Daniel really informative and the good doctor was looking good too. As for Terry well the poor fella gets arrested and charged, loses the fishing trip competition and then gets killed by an out of control driver, poor fella he needs a pay rise
I swear you shot this video over 6months ago… ??!! it’s about time & big up to ASHVILLE for using their platform to educate everyone about the importance of H&S !!!
As a Safety, Health and Environmental advisor, this is extremely refreshing to show how traumatic things like this can be, it’s especially important to show that even though people think Health & Safety is overbearing, it is in place to protect people from these incidents occurring and also showing how everyone has a responsibility. Fair play Ashville already enjoyed the channel before this.
Even though it was acted out, I felt as though Daniel actually took himself there like Tezza had actually passed away. Quite emotional to be honest. Please stay safe everyone ❤️
It was that good it killed me off aswell haha
@@steedwell5774 aw mate it was the photos of Tezza and his daughter that got me upset.
Seeing pictures of Cora just sent shivers down my spine, it’s far to easy to let a mistake go with sharp words, that is until someone dies because those sharp words were ignored. H&S dominates what we do for good reason. I hope this video does go viral and is used as an example to other companies as to why things are put in place and why breaching those rules is gross misconduct. Well done Daniel for putting yourself out there again and again
you and your team did such a fantastic job on this video.
I'm hauled through tons of H&S briefings every year. Written, Video and Interactive.
It can be hard to make it through each one. But this video by you guys was both gripping and eye opening, for anyone, at any level in a business like this.
Daniel really cares for his team, I wish more employers were like him, truly masterclass
Daniel, that was a brilliantly put together video!!! Danger doesn’t take a day off!! Very very well done 👏🏻
I’m working in a company where the danger is every were, starting with industrial vehicles, suspended loads, operations in height, and vehicles moving with dangerous loads, from heavy to molten metal.
The key message is to guarantee that everyone and the end of the day go home safe and healthy.
Congrats for bringing the issue awareness!
Excellent video Daniel Greatest respect for taking the time to highlight such an important issue. Also thanks to Terry for allowing photos of Cora to be used putting into context the dramatic effect an accident would have.
Unreal you guys put so much effort into sending this message. I'm an employer myself and it was truly humbling watching this. There can be a culture of poor health and safety within the UK, especially in SMEs.
Also just hat's off to use your reach and platform to make content like this.
Respect to Terry and his family for being involved with this important message
Brings home how important HS is, no one would ever want to hurt someone, but it happens unfortunately.
This wasn't just a great video, it was NECESSARY for the culture. Shoutout to al involved for making it happen. As Daniel said, we all want to go home at the end of the day... So let's keep it that way 👍🤝
Very good video, employees of a company remember there is a reason why a decent MD/CEO gives you a stern talking too every now and then, you may feel a bit peed off after a grilling but you can not imagine what they have to go through every day and night, where as you can switch off at 5 o clock when you go home and not have any worries until the next morning, the boss is probably answering phone calls and emails well into the night even though he has to be back in work in a few hours time. Just a few wise words (I think) , I am not a MD/CEO i am an employee of a company with a good boss and I see how much stress he has to deal with on a daily basis.
Incredible video.
Such a refreshing reminder of our responsibilities as directors. It’s sometimes easy to think you’re simply extending responsibilities to those under you and that’s that, especially if you’re not on site at all times like myself but you really have to document EVERYTHING for instances like this.
Never forget being called in by a senior manager, many years ago now, and told off for reporting too many faults (not construction industry). My reply was "If you think I'm bad now, you've seen nothing yet". I'd previously let more minor things pass but after him telling me off, I reported anything and everything. It was my livelihood at risk and ultimately, as this excellent video shows, I was partially protecting him as well. Well done Ashville team, that brought a tear to my eyes when Daniel screamed out to Terry and ran towards him.
Daniel, KEEP IT UP MAN!
The clearer the roof, the more pigeons u get bud!!!
Just, DO NOT STOP!🏆🙏
That was a great video, I think what we learned from it is that we can never cut corners when we are entrusted with high responsibility. The HGV driver was supplied with a concrete lorry to perform the daily operations of the company, and did not follow proper protocol whilst reversing. This shows the deadly consequences and proves why protocols exist in a workforce, not following them may have devastating consequences. Thank you for the video Daniel, once again Ashville has made an amazing video highlighting the consequences of not following proper protocols. Amazing use of the courtroom dialogue, well done Dr. Okewale
Just completed work on corporate manslaughter for my law degree and this was an amazing dramatisation, really brought it to life.
Wow! This is my 1st video comment and just want to say thank you for showing how much Health and Safety matters, I work for a large company as IT / Compliance manager and try as part of my job to ensure everyone is kept safe. Hats off to you all, respect!
If I ever get to meet you Daniel I would happily shake your hand, keep safe!
Bloody hell, this hits hard. It is so true though, I manage in a much less dangerous environment, but even there risk is always around the corner. Thanks for making this video Dan, really appreciate it.
This man is out here making movies... Great way to bring awareness to a serious situation in the industry.
As someone in the occupational health and safety field in Canada, this video really hit home. Ironically, I'll be teaching a Supervisor Competency course first thing next week to avoid events just like this. Programs, policies, and competent supervision at all levels are irreplaceable!
Wow. That. Hit. Hard. An absolutely excellent video, and on top of the important H&S message, Terry and his family have to be admired, and given the utmost respect for allowing such a devastating fictional story to be told. Wish I could buy you a pint, Tezza!!!
Not enough serious raining and neglegence is always the top two when it comes to (fatal) accidents on the job. Mostly because people will say "Ah, that'll never happen to me".... until it does.
Very good video, very good eye-opener!
That beginning was like the tv program casualty...you knew one of them was gonna get it!
Daaaaaam, this was really well done. Having been on jury duty for a serious case everything in this video brought the whole experience back to me like it was yesterday. Work safe, be safe.
Brilliant video Dan and thank you for taking the time to make it. These things happen and continue to unfortunately.
Great video Daniel, Terry and everyone involved. This really brings it all home & the impact which can be devastating for the family, friends and all concerned. 😟
Wow! What a professional production! I was alright till it got to the part that showed Terry and his fam…with a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye I watched on!
I don’t work in the construction industry but where I work we have lots of vehicles moving around the site (car dealership) driven by technicians ,deliver drivers & customers! It seems your team talents stretch far beyond construction etc.. ❤️
When I joined British Telecom in 1985 I was sent on an initial safety course at Edinburgh House it was 3 weeks long and included a H&S Film called “Who Killed Susie” and it was based on the similar lines as this, I congratulate everybody involved in making this training video, we had to watch the film and afterwards we had to answer questions based on the content and what we saw & it’s absolutely amazing how much we take for granted the other film was called “Bish, Bash, Bosh” another more light hearted film based on corner cutting & shoddy workmanship again congratulations to everyone who was involved
This is such an amazing video. I don’t think some companies understand the importance of following the scope and procedures that they have implemented once the business grows. It is VITAL that companies continue to follow the rules and regulation in place to make sure all parties are safe and happy. Absolutely great video mate. Hats off to you
They most engaging video I’ve ever watched on Health and Safety!!! Keep up the amazing work, Asheville always educating and inspiring
Wow Daniel this video brought tears to my eyes, at the thought of losing Terry. I don’t believe for one minute that you would stay away from the family. Seriously though H&S is for every person to comply with including visitors that come to the site. You could say that terry should not have been in that area on his phone. Prevention is always better than cure. You have made me even more aware of the H&S practices that should be taking place on construction sites an even when we see houses being renovated an heavy equipment is being used. These days there seems to be many people setting up construction companies but H&S is not at the forefront until things go wrong. I hope that everyone at Asheville has seen the video and taken it very serious. An everyone that watches it looks at their own companies H&S policy to make sure there are no holes.
Terry we love you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That was heavyyyyyyyyy episode. 😢😢😢
Terry’s photo with his daughter was a killer in the middle of it, too painful..
Bravo guys. I work in construction and I've watched so many of these type of videos during toolbox talks, this is by far the best and most eye opening I've ever seen. Seriously well done 👏👏👏👏
Very informative. Thank the lord Terry is super man and managed to survive being run over. But on a serious note Daniel 10/10 I certainly learnt alot
How did you watch all of the video within 1 minute of it being uploaded?
Lol, caught red handed
Dam 😂 well I learnt straight away to avoid any moving trucks in a yard 😂
At first I was about to click like and skip the video. Glad I applied patience and watched the whole thing. Realistic way you'll put it across, thanks guys including the script writer and video team. Hey Terry all the best man 👍
Thanks for highlighting the importance of safety at all times and how quickly things can go wrong.
By a mile the best video from Ashville so far. Spine chilling indeed. Thank you
This got me thinking of the time you actually did fire the driver who did that very reckless overtake you showed us on weekly. That was a real risk and would only have ended in catastrophe. A good decision on your part.
Episode?
@@solshields sorry, don’t know, but in short a driver tried to overtake while another vehicle was approaching from the other way, almost resulting in a collision. Ashville showed us dashcam footage of the incident.
I feel the Oscar Buzz already! CHILLING!!!
The fact that as a company director you can be held responsible for the ignorance of a member of staff, that’s hard to swallow
Right!!!
Love the fact you took the time and effort to make the video and highlight the importance of site health and safety awareness around the work place, well done and respect brother
Being a young entrepreneur, I thought I learned the ins and outs of my company. Just to realize that safety aspect has been somehow lacking behind. Regardless of all the videos I have watched, this one is my number one... Thank you Daniel 👏🤗
This is a great video for training purposes. Ashville and Daniel smashing it.
Both gripping, informative and chilling all at the same time, I work in the transportation industry, this hit close to home, thank you Daniel, Terry, Tunday etc. THIS is the style of health and safety video we should be showing our staff!
That’s a brilliant, insightful and educational video. I don’t work in construction but can imagine how health and safety practices are paramount. well done Danial and team.
A really good insight and spotlight on H&S. Although the driver is at fault, it now highlights all the other work you are doing on pedestrian walkways, access gates and should cover the distractions like using a mobile phone. Excellent video Daniel and team.
Great message from this video.
this here is true gold! thank you Ashville, we keep learning from you in all possible angles! truly enriching.
Thank you for this, as a HGV driver I know how easy this can happen, I have shared the video to my employer.
Cheers for these awesome education videos!
Brilliant H&S video - one accident could lead to so much distress!!! Policy enforcement isn’t fun but paramount!
very impactful video, this video needs to be shared to all companies in this industry, so they can have a better insight and acknowledge the importance of health & safety.
Great content with intense moments in the court, I'm not into your domain but always watched you. Great inspiration for sure brother.
Very chilling to watch but so so so good and well delivered. Prayerfully less and less of us have less accidents at our jobs and we all return home to family and comfort. Thank you
TBH more companies should do scenarios like this 👍
Brilliant video on health and safety regulations, keep up the good work!
As someone who has witnessed similar scenarios at a young age, from watching co workers getting pierced by speeding forklifts to warehouse racking collapsing on them im glad to see this video because a lot of my generation don’t really pay attention to the dinosaur explanations the typical workplace gives so when you have a modern video portraying Health and Safety I think it’ll help in many industries⚔️
This was truly excellent. I just found out about your channel, have little to no understanding or actual interest in the construction field, but you are such a joy to watch. This was a gem. Thank you!
This actually got me emotional
Really? Lol
NEW VIDEO?!?! LETS GO. BIG UP THE WHOLE TEAM AND OFCOURSE, BIG UP DR. TUNDE TOO
This needs to be part of the CPC. Much more impactful than watching a powerpoint for 8 hours
This video is SSSERIOUS, and the reason I started binge watching all the videos on the channel.
Very very good video this should be shown to everyone to explain it all in detail like you have freat work as always guys amazing, I have to deal with this sort of thing on a daily basis due to being a LOLER and power inspector for lifting equipment and machines to ensure there safe to use.
Having viewed the video several times and looked at all the evidence I can say with absolute certainty it was the cyclists fault!
I have to disagree, Watch again and you will see a scooter rider whizzing round the truck as he was reversing !.
are you Jermey Clarksson undercover?
@@Awesomekiid13 No, But I could be Ricard Hamlend or Jaynes Maye
@@billericaydickie6137 🤣
Amazing video - it hits home how important it is to put H&S top of the priorities in our company
absolutely fantastic dramatisation. You had me shed a tear. Well done and executed.
I find with every achievable training or things put into place to avoid these things happening.
People/staff just don't listen or follow their training guidelines.
Which then makes a boss liable to prosecution.
You wonder why some people won't employ staff.
because they make a boatload of money from their labour.
@@Adam-eb3rs dream on bud.
Not every employer is a corporate business.
@@Adam-eb3rs look how many business owners there are and look how many are earning over 6 figures a year and you’ll rethink your statement
@@Adam-eb3rs extremely stupid mindset
@S Sh how would you know of there not publicly traded.
Was this how Terry needs hip replacement surgery next week. 🙊🧐 just playing, hope the procedure goes well, have a speedy recovery Tezza. God bless 🙏🏾
Really good concept. I work for the railway and we regularly have to watch videos with dramatised fatality videos. It always hits home and reminds you when out on the track you need to follow the safety protocols all the time. This video should be shared with other building/construction firms. We are always taught on the railway,
The most dangerous thing within the workplace is familiarity. When you do the same job, day in day out, switching off is easy. These educational videos are reminders not to switch off.
This was intense.. I work in the industry driving PA, MEWP's and Cheery-pickers and never realised that with all the toolbox, induction and training there's so much that isn't highlighted or said. Thanks Ashville and Daniel for your ability to bring this up to my knowledge. Today I had a lesson for life.👍🏾
No one really thinks how fast one can actually die at work. One of my father’s coworkers died a couple of months ago. He was operating a small remote controlled crane and wanted to pick up a heavy load (3+ tonnes). He didn’t attach the rope evenly and when he picked it up, the load tilted towards him and smashed him against the wall. The man was 5 years away from retirement, what a shame.
Well done Daniel and Tunde, and all involved
I just shed a tear. I couldn't finish the entire video.
Much love Daniel, from a staunch follower and upcoming entrepreneur from Zimbabwe.
Continuous risk assessments of the work place are absolutely pivotal. This along with processes and policies installed to prevent people from bending the rules can prevent most accidents. Most importantly people need to take their own health and safety in their own hands. This comes with education. Great video Dan, sublime. I’m going to pass this over to the trainer who trained me on my IOSH course a while back.
There's no record of the conversations he had with the driver, so deny it's ever happened, and this is the first time. Relinquishing all responsibility from the Director putting it onto the driver for sheer incompetence
It's in the accident book which is probably why the Barrister new about it, or came out in interviews of all the witnesses, so that would have been worse. Knew about the accidents but did not take any action at all either on or off the record
@@intelligentgardening and could be prosecuted for perjury on top of corporate manslaughter, seems like denying something that you knowingly knew happened could go badly in court, who knew, why take that risk to start with, honesty and remorse are the best way forward.
That was excellent only thing is you failed to mention the outcome of the driver at fault, I would imagine he was looking at a lengthy jail sentence?hopefully this will help drive home to other companies how important health and safety is and also how much pressure HGV drivers are under
Great Video and I really hope it helps to bring the message to a wider audience. I’m a manager in the waste industry and operate in very similar environments. In 2020 I hade to deal with a fatality at our site and my BIG learning from the whole sad episode was the wider impact it had on the rest of the team working on site. Three weeks after the incident our weighbridge operator SAW the deceased sitting in her passenger seat on her drive home!! Six people had to have counselling for a long period of time to get over it. The memories never go away. They fade but they are always there. I really hope that this video makes everyone stop and think that we are all responsible for safety. Not just the directors and the managers….EVERYONE!
This is one of the biggest contributions to public legal education in the UK that CZcams has ever given us. Thank you!
I was waiting for the EastEnders theme tune to kick in right after Daniel shouted "TERRY!"
EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS . I was passing a site today ( houses & flats ) almost completed. There was 2 dumpers , 1 flat bed & a HGV not one of them had a banksman and there was ground workers doing service trenches, as well as landscapers doing pacing .. I could see a accident in the making . I also seen a site manager ( or at least he had black hat on ) standing talking to a guy jetwashing a completed driveway. He could obv see what I seen and just let it happen that way .. H&as starts from the top 🔝 same as everything you lead by example. If guys see managers doing nothing then why would they . THE GOOD OLD GREEN CROSS CODE “” STOP LOOK AMD LISTEN “” ALL THE PRICEWORK NOW REDUCES WORKERS CARE ABOUT H&S ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THOER FRIDAY PAY . Why wait till that barrier is moved if u can jump over it to do the job attitude..
So what's your suggestion...for every machine employ a driver plus a banksman??.. by that logic every bus and truck on the road they either need to remove reverse gear or put a second person with every vehicle.. its a nonsense suggestion
@@AbcdEfgh-zp1sn on sites where u have multiple HGV’s etc reversing & guys working then yes if they move off the vehicle routes then yes .. esp when guys are working eg the ones doing paving and dumpers buzzing about . Don’t take much to miss a guy working on knees if you are at high level ..
@@AbcdEfgh-zp1sn sorry you obv don’t get what was said on his video.. it’s compulsory for a banksman to accompany on sites that’s why he has them at gates … or did u miss that bit .. Not putting any measures in place would lead to corporate manslaughter as easily proved u completely neglected your duty of care to employees and site visitors. More people die from being hit by moving vehicles on sites than anything
Outstanding Daniel, spine chilling video should be used in training classes going forward for what could happen might happen and has happened out in the industry. I work in the railway industry and health and safety is a massive thing and we see videos all the time of things like that happened but this one was a real eye-opener from another industry and it’s taught me a lot about your position and your industry. Again outstanding.
Thank you. Such an important message.
