'Building Worker' statue
'Building Worker' ... a bronze statue celebrating the lives of workers killed on building sites, situated on Tower hill in London.
The Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians (Ucatt) had the sculpture made as part of a campaign for a new corporate killing charge.
Sculptor Alan Wilson created the figure which sports a hard hat, weighs 300kg and holds a spirit level. The statue was unveiled the 11th of October 2006. At that time, a total of 351 construction workers had died on sites since 2001.
The inscription on the statue reads: “For the thousands of building workers who have lost their lives at work, we commemorate you. For the thousands of building workers who are today building and rebuilding towns and cities across the United Kingdom, we celebrate you.”
