Demolition company fined after fall from height fatality

A dismantling and demolition company has been fined after a worker fell 30 feet to his death when part of a pipe bridge platform gave way.

A joint investigation by HSE and Police Scotland found that the company failed to carry out a suitable and sufficient risk assessment. They also failed to put necessary control measures in place, to inform employees of the hazardous condition of the pipe bridge, and to prevent access to it.

 

Read this press release for more details on this incident.
