A Devon-based construction company has been fined more than £100,000 after a worker was killed in a fall from height.
Plymouth Magistrates’ Court heard how an employee of C & R Construction suffered fatal injuries after falling whilst carrying out work installing roof sheets on a new agricultural building.
An investigation by the HSE into the incident, which occurred on 11 May 2016, found that the company failed to provide suitable edge protection, failed to ensure there was a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks from the use of the edge protection and failed to ensure those installing the edge protection and supervising the work had received adequate training.
