D3 was the contractor responsible for the site and D2 and D3 had direct control over the relevant construction work; both D2 and D3 breached Reg 38A(2),(3) and Reg 38AA(2),(3) by failing, so far as was reasonably practicable, to provide suitable and adequate safe access (eg a mobile working platform), to prevent access to a hazardous place and to carry out adequate patrolling; those statutory breaches materially caused the plaintiff's accident and injuries; common law negligence claims against D2 and D3 fail; plaintiff awarded damages net of EC and interest.
