In 2004, there were 16 construction fatalities, as well as two fatalities on construction sites of workers in other sectors, and in 2005 there were 23 construction fatalities. Following is a list of those fatally injured in 2004 and 2005 on construction sites or in construction related workplace activities during that period. The list sets out the names of the deceased, the date of the accident and the site location.
The addresses of the victims and their individual training records are personal to the deceased and, accordingly, this information is not being released. In many of the cases, files have been prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions and prosecutions are pending. In other cases, files are being prepared for consideration by the Director of Public Prosecutions. In such cases, the training record of the deceased may be used in court as evidence and release of this information could prejudice potential proceedings.
