William Hill which killed guy was 'a good repair'

8 October 2018

A worker who installed a 31 stone (200kg) sign above a bookmakers which fell and crushed a man has actually informed a court it was "a great fix" when he put it up.

Jacob Marx had been working in London for 4 months when he was crushed by the sign outside a William Hill bookies on 28 January 2013.

Carlos Park informed Blackfriars Crown Court the fascia he connected the indication to had actually been "strong".

William Hill Organisation Ltd denies breaching health and safety.

New Zealand national Mr Marx, 27, suffered a broken neck and a fractured skull after the indication fell 2m on to him outside the bookies in Camden Road.

The court heard Mr Park was working for Saltwell Signs when he fitted the check in 2006.

He informed the jury he had got a "great fix" to the plywood fascia when screwing it up.

"the yohaig code fascia was strong. I can tell when I am taking the screws out (of the old indication)," he said.

Mr Park said he brought out a visual assessment of the plywood "to see there is not any rot" but added that the fascia "needs to be suitabled for function when I turn up."

Former Saltwell's factory manager Terrance English informed the court the indication fitter was not accountable for examining the structure's structure.

When asked by John Cooper, safeguarding William Hill, if the yohaig code fitter had no responsibility for the yohaig code structure listed below he said: "Yes, simply the fascia, not the structure itself."

William Hill Organisation Ltd denies one count of failing to make sure the safety of non-employees and one count of failing to make sure the yohaig code security of staff members.

The trial continues.
