The families of people killed at work tore into health and safety vandal David Cameron yesterday for stating “lessons should be learned” from the death of an Edinburgh girl crushed to death when a wall fell on her at school.

They said the PM should learn the lesson that tearing up safety rules as “red tape” and a “burden on business” kills people.

Liberton high school student Keane Wallis-Bennet died when an unstable wall fell on her.

Mr Cameron reacted saying: “Lessons will have to be learned to make sure such tragic accidents won’t happen again.”

But Manchester-based campaign group Families Against Corporate Killers (Fack) founding member Louise Taggart condemned Mr Cameron’s response.

She told the PM: “Lessons must be learned, most urgently by you and your government, whose approach to health and safety matters is deeply and dangerously flawed.

“Lessons should be learned by employers and others before innocent lives are lost.”

Ms Taggart’s 26-year-old brother Michael Adamson was killed at work in August 2005.

She said that the Con-Dems’ attack on so-called red tape “will only lead to more bloody bandages and worse, just as poor Keane’s family are experiencing.

“Almost every death in a workplace is preventable by good management of health and safety.

“But David Cameron is hostile to such approaches and has described good health and safety as a millstone, an albatross, a burden on business and vowed to kill off health and safety culture.”

The Tory-led coalition has slashed the Health and Safety Executive budget by 35 per cent since 2010, Ms Taggart noted.
