THE family of a "loving father" who died in a work accident have issued a fresh picture of him.

The widow of father-of-four Jason Waring, aged 48, who died in an incident at Hinkley Point C on Sunday, November 13, also described him as a "great friend".

Sarah Waring said: "Jason was a devoted and loving father who did everything for me, his sons and his daughters.

“He was also a great friend, very loyal to many, and was always the life and soul of the party.

“We will miss him terribly.”

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson said: "Our thoughts remain with Jason’s family during this difficult time.

"They continue to receive support from our specialist officers."

Staff at Hinkley Point C have also been offered support through EDF and Bylor.

Jason began working at the Hinkley Point C project in 2018 with Bylor, the main contractor working on the project.

Project director Chris Wilkinson paid tribute to Jason.

Mr Wilkinson said: “Since joining the team, Jason had become a much respected and well-liked member of the team.

“He was an excellent supervisor, and his colleagues will remember him fondly as someone who was fun to spend time with.

“The whole team is shocked and upset by his death, our thoughts are with his family and friends at this extremely difficult time.”
