Glazing firm prosecuted after worker sustains life changing head injury in fall (25 January 2016)
Date: 25/01/2016
A glazing firm has been prosecuted by the Health and safety Executive (HSE), after a worker fell from the roof of a van and sustained severe head injuries.
On 19 June 2012, Alan Campbell – who worked for Anglian Windows Limited – fell while loading an easi-dec system onto the roof of a van, after working at a domestic property at Linlithgow.
Mr Campbell, 47, suffered two bleeds to the brain and was kept in an induced coma for over three weeks.
Compression to his forehead required a metal plate to be inserted to partly reshape his face. Mr Campbell now suffers from epilepsy and is unable to drive.
After an investigation by the Health and Safety Executive, the Crown Office and the Procurator Fiscal Service, it was found that Anglian Windows Limited had failed to provide sufficient information, instruction, training and supervision to employees who were required to load and unload equipment from van roofs.
Anglian Windows Limited of Anson Road in Norwich pleaded guilty at Livingston Sheriff Court and was fined £10,000 for breaching Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.
After the hearing, HSE inspector Ritchie McCrae said:
“Loading and unloading of materials and equipment from van roofs should be properly planned and appropriate control measures identified and employed.
“On this occasion, Anglian Windows failed to control the risk of falls from van roofs, as the company was entirely reliant on an instruction which was not properly communicated and was not monitored to check compliance.
“As a result of this, an incident occurred which was entirely preventable and an employee sustained serious and life changing injuries.”
