Michael McArthur tragically died after the cherry picker he was carrying out work on was struck by a tour bus

A Scots construction boss who failed to do a risk assessment before a decorator plunged to his death from a cherry picker has been spared jail.

Bowie had failed to mitigate the major risks associated with the cherry picker and there was nothing to separate it from the flow of traffic. He was found to have failed to ensure that the work being carried out at height was properly planned, appropriately supervised and carried out in a manner which was, as far as reasonably practicable, safe.
