Firm fined after scaffolding collapse A firm has been fined after scaffolding collapsed and blocked a car-park entrance in Coventry. The scaffolding, which was 13 metres in length and four metres high, had been erected to protect the public from falling debris during work on the city’s SkyDome Arena. It was blown down in high winds. A Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigation found that the scaffolding was not adequately fixed into the structure and was not designed and installed to withstand foreseeable wind strengths, during the incident on 3 March 2019. The management of the scaffolding operation was found to be well below the expected standard because it did not identify the need for a bespoke design, required to ensure the strength and the stability of the proposed scaffolding structure.
