Height safety breaches lead to £66k fine

A Worcester based roofing company has been fined £66,000 after an employee fell.

HSE inspector Edward Fryer said: “Edge protection was not installed at the perimeter of the roof and should have been. The arrangements for preventing falls through the fragile roof relied solely on inadequately specified personal fall protection equipment. If collective protection, such as nets and guardrails, had been provided the risk of a fall would have been greatly reduced for all the employees working on the roof.”
