A construction company has been fined £160,000 after a man was killed by a telehandler at a house build site in Glasgow.
Scott Bradley, 44, had been employed by Merchant Homes Partnership Ltd when the accident happened on 11 May 2022.
Bradley had been reversing the vehicle at the Stepford Road site when the wheels went over the edge of the traffic route, sliding down an embankment and overturning.
Despite the efforts of colleagues and the emergency services, Bradley died from crush injuries at the scene.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive and Police Scotland found Merchant Homes Partnership, the principal contractor at the site, had not risk assessed the traffic route where the incident occurred.
Merchant Homes Partnership Limited, of George Square, Glasgow, pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 27(2) of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. It was fined £160,000 at Glasgow Sheriff Court on 12 November 2024.
