Health and Safety Law 2024

In May 2024, the HSE issued the MoD with a Crown Censure following the death of private Conor McPherson of the Black Watch infantry battalion during a training exercise at a firing range in Northumberland in August 2016. He was accidentally shot in the back of the head by a fellow soldier in his team as they shot at remote controlled targets using live rounds and night vision technology.
