MoD Receives Maximum Sanction After Army Reservist's Fatal Training Incident

The Health and Safety Executive issued a Crown Censure following the death of Staff Sergeant John McKelvie during an off-road exercise.

Staff Sergeant John McKelvie, 51, died after a military vehicle rolled during training at Catterick Training Area in 2019.
The Health and Safety Executive found the Ministry of Defence culpable of inadequate risk assessments and oversight failures.
The British Army acknowledged its failure to protect McKelvie and pledged to improve safety standards in training exercises.
Previous incidents of vehicle rollovers were not sufficiently addressed, contributing to the tragic accident.
A Crown Censure, the highest penalty for a government body, was issued as the MoD is exempt from prosecution.
