Do you,with full respect, take this same line as to people in their own homes with their own gardens and having a dog, who if someone comes into the garden uninvited,then gets attacked by the dog,and is injured or killed, then the dog gets put down and the owner could go to prison.
Is that not private land too.

No worker over the limit as to alcohol in their blood should even be in the workplace at all, never mind driving anything or operating any machinery.
That is not being an armchair lawyer but it is usually overall a company and legal policy.

Ok joey, I'll grant you have a point as he was working on somebody else's land and as such should have respected his employers basic rights ie right to have his workers in a fit state to work on his land. Also it could of been the owners children who he killed accidentally. So I'm changing my view on this , this worker does need to face prosecution of some sort to answer for his actions.
