Mr McLean, a 43-year-old father of three from Falkirk, died on 22 August 2019 after an accident at the St Enoch Centre in Glasgow when he was trapped and killed by a robotic demolition machine.

A preliminary hearing is set for 15 August 2023 at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

This FAI follows the prosecution and conviction of Core Cut Limited for a breach of health and safety legislation.

Procurator fiscal Andy Shanks, who leads on fatalities investigations for COPFS, said: “The death of Derek McLean occurred while in the course of his employment and as such a Fatal Accident Inquiry is mandatory.

“The lodging of the First Notice enables FAI proceedings to commence under the direction of the Sheriff.

“Mr McLean’s family will continue to be kept informed of significant developments as court proceedings progress.”
