HSE investigates banksman's death

21 Sep 22 The investigation into the death of a slinger signaller at Gatwick Airport has been handed over to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE).

Marius Badiou died on 21st July 2022 during a lifting operation at the £150m Gatwick railway redevelopment project at Gatwick Airport.

A joint investigation was launched with, and led by, the British Transport Police. The police have concluded their investigations and HSE will now lead the investigation.

The investigation will determine if any breaches under the Health and Safety at Work Act have occurred.

HSE principal inspector Ross Carter said: “It is important HSE completes the investigation into Marius’s death to determine the cause of this incident.

“HSE will draw upon the evidence gathered so far and call upon its own specialist investigators and independent support in what is likely to be a complex investigation.

“During the investigation we will continue to keep in touch with Marius’s family as we send them our deepest sympathies at this difficult time.”
