£20,000 fine after worker falls from height (10 March 2016)
Date: 10/03/2016
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has prosecuted a Bodmin-based cleaning company, after a worker fell from height through a fragile roof.
On 15 August 2015, a senior roofer working for Clean Earth Energy Limited was installing solar panels at Homeleigh Garden Centre in Launceston, Cornwall. While crossing the roof, cement fibre sheeting he was walking on gave way and he fell approximately fifteen feet, sustaining multiple injuries, including several fractured vertebrae
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive into the incident found the work had not been properly planned or supervised.
On Friday 4 March at Bodmin Magistrates’ Court, Clean Earth Energy Limited of Bess Park Road, Trenant Industrial Estate, Wadebridge in Cornwall pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 4(1) of the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
The company was fined £20,000 and ordered to pay costs of £1,704.
After the hearing, HSE inspector Nicole Buchanan said:
“Working on fragile surfaces is a particularly high-risk activity in which many serious accidents occur.
“Duty holders should do everything possible to protect their workers from the risk of a fall.”
