[2010] EWCA Crim 1474

Convictions imposed on employees of a fireworks company for gross negligence manslaughter after a cameraman working for the fire service was killed during an explosion at the company's premises were safe, as it was reasonably foreseeable that a civilian employee of the fire service might come on to the site of a fire in order to film or photograph it for training purposes. The fact that the cameraman had failed to comply with instructions to leave the site did not mean that he was not owed a duty of care.
