A WORKER was seriously injured on an Isle of Wight building site this week.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is making enquiries after a report that part of a huge crane fell on him at a McCarthy and Stone site, near Sainsbury’s, Newport, on Tuesday.
The man is understood to have suffered serious leg or foot injuries, as the crane was being dismantled, and was taken to St Mary’s Hospital, Newport, where it is believed he underwent an operation to save his limb.
A McCarthy and Stone spokesman confirmed yesterday (Wednesday) the man remained in hospital and was said to be ‘doing well’.
The spokesman said: “We are investigating an incident at our Newport development which resulted in an injury to one of our employees.
“The safety of our people is paramount and the company has a robust approach to health and safety matters.”
