A roofing firm have been sentenced for breaches of safety regulations after an employee fell through a gap in scaffolding and sustained multiple injuries. A 20-year-old labourer, who was moving insulation panels on a roof, fell 3 metres through a gap in the scaffolding onto an office roof below, causing injuries to his left wrist and hand. HSE's investigation found that, although the company had taken measures to reduce the risk of a fall, the scaffolding did not fully extend along the roof in the area where the insulation panels were stacked and stored.

The Safety Climate Tool (SCT) has been carefully designed by scientists to assess the attitudes of individuals within an organisation towards health and safety issues. Using a simple online questionnaire, it explores your workers' attitudes and perceptions in key areas of health and safety, while guaranteeing anonymity. Register for a live webinar demonstration of the SCT on 6 April at 11.00am. You can also watch our SCT video for more information.
