He was sent to work unloading cargo inside a ship - one of the most dangerous jobs in the country - with only a few minutes "training". Within hours of starting work his head was almost severed by the grab of a crane.

The growth of casualisation, where people are forced into low
paid jobs with little or no training, no job security, no sick pay and no holiday pay means bigger profits for companies - and more deaths and injuries for the people working for them.

Simon got the job through an employment agency, Personell Selection, who should by law have checked that the job was
safe for him - they didn't.

Throughout the country, employment agencies make huge profits by providing cheap labour for companies who prefer employing casual labour to employing a well trained, decently paid workforce.

The government run Health and Safety Executive is meant to
ensure that people's working conditions are safe. But last year only one in 20 serious injuries at work (that's things like being blinded or losing a limb) were even investigated by them, leaving 48,000 uninvestigated. This government claims to be 'tough on crime', but when it comes to big business making profits at the expense of people's health it seems to be another story. This government is busy creating a low pay economy where millions of people will be forced to take crappy jobs like the one Simon did or lose their benefit.

Nothing has happened 5 months after the CPS were ordered to reconsider their decision not to prosecute anyone for Simon's death.
