As the new Wembley stadium was being built thousand of construction workers took place in its erection. However, it was one unlucky steel worker that will never see the impressive finished stadium in clear vision.
A shard of galvanised steel coating broke off a steel pin as Ian Pearson, a steel erector, was hammering it into the structure of the new stadium. However, Pearson's employer Fast Track Site Services now no longer operating, failed to provide their worker with the correct working equipment.
As a result the goggles that should have protected Pearson's visionary organs were defunct as the shard of steel entered his eye. Although not robbed of all his sight, Pearson's vision will remain permanently blurred; had the correct all-angle goggles been correctly administered, Pearson may have retained his site.
After taking this incident to court Pearson was awarded £6,500 in compensation for his clouded vision.
