The case reported in the legal pages of 黑洞社区 on 30 January 2015 (鈥淲here does blame lie?鈥, page 36) illustrates the increased risks of last minute changes.

Variations need as much attention as the original design, but the health and safety implications are frequently overlooked when there is a late change to the method of work.

Experience of other accidents and near misses tells us that small sites with last minute changes are a particularly dangerous combination. This lack of attention has resulted in devastating consequences for all concerned.
