Introduction to CECA
• CECA is a trade association with about 300 members across England, Scotland & Wales
• We represent between 70 - 80% of the infrastructure delivered across the UK
• Broad cross section of members – Tier 1 through to SME and specialist contractors.
• We have 8 autonomous regions and a National Office based in Birdcage Walk, Westminster.
• My role as National Civil Engineering Director includes H&S!!
Working with USAG
• Worked with USAG for a few years now – predominantly in Scotland.
• Nationally we have been involved with USAG’s Utility Strike Data Survey – resulting in a report prepared by the USAG Data & Reporting Working Group and published June 2015.
………We’ll be contacting members again this year to do likewise.
Why the focus on service strikes?
• Working around services is what our members do all the time!
• Despite the plethora of advice notes, guidance notes, safe systems of work, specifications etc. – INCIDENTS STILL HAPPEN!
• Concerns over recent years – CECA commissioned a number of reports over 3 years ago – more of which later.
• CECA have worked closely with a number of client organisations and we are simply acting on the industry’s ongoing concerns.
Background to the Mock Trials
• First came about following a conversation between Mark Roper and James Thomson of Simpson & Marwick in 2011 – initially for CECA members only.
• Where have they been to date:-
Y&H x 3, NE x 3,

How does it Work?
• Fully scripted text – provided by Simpson & Marwick with aid from CECA
• Require a venue – duration approx 3.5hrs
• Require a ‘Judge’, clerk, defendant, witness, and usually a third party (‘HSE inspector or similar).
• Require a Defence and a Prosecution Lawyer
How does it work?
• Introduction to H&S Law by Simpson & Marwick
• Introduction to the case in question.
• Each representative is examined ‘in chief’ and then they are cross-examined.
• The ‘judge’ sums up
• The ‘jury’ decides!!
The jury decides!!

Who would benefit from attending?
Are you aware of any innovation aimed at reducing utility strike. If so, how is it applied?
How do we maintain the momentum of raising the profile of underground service investigations.
How do we build and improve collaboration between all parties.
