Wessex Water faces criminal charges for deadly Avonmouth blast in 2020

In January 2024, the HSE served Wessex Water with an improvement notice because the company had failed to show it had “taken all measures necessary to prevent major accidents and limit their consequences”.

Wessex Water said at the time that the HSE was “satisfied” with steps taken by the company and confirmed compliance a month later.

A Wessex Water spokesperson said: “The HSE has informed us of its decision to prosecute.

“We will always remember Brian Vickery, Ray White, Luke Wheaton and Mike James.

“Our thoughts are with their families, friends and colleagues.”

A HSE spokesperson said, following its investigation, its legal services division had decided to authorise criminal charges against Wessex Water, for offences under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
