Worker’s site injury costs construction firms £400,000
Two construction firms have been ordered to pay more than £400,000 in fines and costs after a worker was injured when an air conditioning plant fell on him.
Southwark Crown Court heard that, on 10 November 2017, three roofers were working on Bromley High Street in London, finishing off a large roof refurbishment project. The workers were instructed to dismantle a decommissioned air conditioning plant and remove it from the roof in high winds. As part of the plant was being lowered, it became detached from the rope and hook. It fell and struck one of the workers on the pavement below, fracturing his left femur.
