A London-based roofing company has been fined £160,000 after a worker fell two storeys onto a concrete floor.
Southwark Crown Court heard how Ali Mucoj injured himself while working for Wessexmoor. He had been completing roof work at a site on Glycena Road in London, when he fell from an unguarded rear roof and suffered multiple injuries, including internal bleeding on the brain and a broken leg.
