11,000GBP nominal penalty for liquidated company, after worker dies following electrocution (28 October 2016)
Date: 28/10/2016
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has prosecuted a London-based environmental services company, after a worker was killed during asbestos removal work at a high school in Wales.
The 26-year-old father from Gwent had accessed a ceiling void at Cwmcarn High School on 19 July 2013, to create an enclosure to contain the asbestos during its removal.
However, while he was cutting plastic sheeting, he cut into a live electric cable and was electrocuted.
A Health and Safety Executive investigation found that Caswell Environmental Services Ltd had not taken adequate steps to ensure that the electrical supply at the school was isolated before the work was undertaken.
At Newport Magistrates’ Court, Caswell Environmental Services Ltd – of Lynton House, Tavistock Square in London – was found guilty in its absence to breaching Sections 2(1) and 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.
In sentencing, the Judge considered the fact that the company was in liquidation and delivered a total nominal fine of £10,000, with £1,000 in costs.
