I have been informed by the Health and Safety Authority that it has not investigated the incident referred to by the Deputy.
As a general comment, the Health and Safety Authority will investigate accidents that occur at places of work that result in a fatality or serious injury and where the accident is attributable to a work activity.
Separately, I would add that I have no statutory role in the carrying out of investigations or inspections that fall to the Health and Safety Authority to undertake.
