Case Studies
Fatal scaffold collapse prompts £126,000 fine
In Huntingdon Crown Court today, the principal contractor on the Jury's Inn site, McAleer & Rushe Limited of Cookstown, N.Ireland was fined £90,000 and ordered to pay costs of £42,000. The cladder on the site, Lee Smith Carpentry Limited of Romsey, Hampshire was fined £36,000 and ordered to pay costs of £28,000. The court heard that a combination of failures led to the scaffolding collapse. The scaffolding was not strong or stable enough for the work being carried out. Inspection of the scaffold was also inadequate, despite specific instructions from HSE and McAleer's health and safety manager.
M6 death prompts £65,000 fine for roadworks company
Graham Campbell died after hitting an unlit contractor's vehicle parked on the hard shoulder of the M6, just past junction 35 near Carnforth. He was travelling north on the motorway at approximately 11.30pm on 8 May 2004.
Cumbrian Industrials, of The Ridge, Chipping Sodbury, Bristol, pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 for failing to ensure the safety of the public. The company was also ordered to pay £50,000 costs.
The court heard that Cumbrian Industrials was guilty of several failings. Inconsistency in the positioning of the traffic cones, between the hard shoulder and lane one, caused uncertainty to motorists about whether the hard shoulder should be used.
Cumbrian Industrials also failed to provide detailed drawings for a change in the layout of the traffic cones, after the original plans were altered. And the cones were not moved back into place after the white line between lanes one and two had been repainted.
