Officer in fatal march says he lacked health and safety training

Capt Colin Nufer tells inquest into death of Joshua Hoole he received no formal guidance

An experienced army officer who oversaw a course during which a soldier fatally collapsed on a hot summer day has told an inquest he had been given no formal health and safety training.

Cpl Joshua Hoole, 26, died within an hour of collapsing on an annual fitness test (AFT) in Brecon, south Wales, in July 2016. Three years earlier, three army reservists sustained fatal heat illness during an SAS selection march in the Brecon Beacons.
