5 | CORONER'S CONCERNS

During the course of the inquest the evidence revealed matters giving rise
to concern. In my opinion there is a risk that future deaths will occur
unless action is taken. In the circumstances it is my statutory duty to
report to you.

The MATTERS OF CONCERN are as follows :

1. The external staircase used by Mr Harrison was to the rear of a
shopping area. The inquest heard that access could easily be
gained to the staircase and there was no gate that could be
locked. The staircase was for maintenance use and did not require

regular access by the public.

ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN

In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and |
believe you have the power to take such action.
