Working at Height
22 March 2019
Falls from Height
Firm and Contractor prosecutedA building company and its contractor have been prosecuted after a worker fell through a roof. In February 2017, the worker had been working on the roof of a farm building when he fell through a skylight and onto the concrete floor over four metres below.
He suffered three fractured vertebrae, a displaced ribcage and a fractured heel. According to HSE, the worker had been under the direction of John Parker trading as JR Parker Agricultural Building and Landscaping, who had been subcontracted by Michael Mudd Ltd to repair the roof at a farm in Cumbria.
HSE's investigation found that the work lacked proper planning and that no measures had been put to protect against falls from height.
John Robert Parker pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 6 (3) of the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and was fined £2000 with costs of £971.80. Michael Mudd Ltd pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3 (1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and was fined £11000 with costs of £851.
