Aggressive members of the public, an elderly man locked in a castle and a skip fire are some of the health and safety incidents recorded by Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority in the first few months of 2020.
The authority’s audit and corporate services review committee will be asked to note the quarter one health and safety update at its upcoming meeting on May 13.
A report of incidents and accidents in the first part of the year includes a summary of actions taken, for example following a skip fore at Clirhedyn caused by putting hot ashes in processes have been changed so its deposited weekly, allowing time to cool.
At Solva car park there was “aggressive behaviour from member of the public” about signs and the parking meter but they were spoken to and they apologised.
At Carew Castle a young child slipped on a spiral stair case, where preventive measures are already in place, so advisory signage is to be considered during a wider health and safety visitor service review.
A “mature gentleman” who had entered the castle without paying, according to the report, got locked in after closing and sustained a small cut on his finger trying to get out.
Although “normal ‘shout out and lock down procedures were followed” staff will be reminded to be more vigilant, and consider those with hearing problems.
At Oriel y Parc in St Davids an employee tripped in the car park gaining a superficial injury with gravel since laid as a temporary measure before future car park refurbishments take place, and the corners of display cases had to be covered after a child bumped its head at the Wriggle exhibition.
Out and about a minibus tyre was damaged, a vehicle was damaged when the wind caught a car door and an employee slipped while working on hedgerows.
