Leyland SDM (LSDM) Ltd has been fined after four workers fell more than three and a half metres whilst carrying a ventilation unit.
Westminster Magistrates Court heard how LSDM had been in the process of redeveloping a warehouse in Wembley. However, when four workers tried to move a ventilation unit into position, the working platform became overloaded and gave way.
Neither the work at height nor the lifting operations were planned properly. Two of the four injured men suffered leg fractures, while a broken collar bone was among the other injuries caused by the incident.
