Fatality at Park Royal stonemason

pdf version (what's that?)

Safety campaigners and union officials joined with the family of John Dunleavy, 37, to mark his untimely death last September.

John was crushed by a massive slab of stone that was being moved at Deco Marble and Granite, Park Royal. He had worked there for eight years and was a works foreman.

Family and friends marked John's death by laying a wreath outside the firm on 19 December. They were supported by members of the Construction Safety Campaign and the construction union UCATT. John's workmates stopped work to attend the brief ceremony.

There will be an investigation of the incident by the Health and Safety Executive who will pass their findings on to the Hornsey Coroner's Office.
