London Underground has been fined £500,000 after a worker fell down a lift shaft at a disused tube station.
The fine follows an investigation by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) into the incident on 22 September 2014, where a worker fell 9.5m from a tower scaffold while cleaning a former lift shaft at the disused South Kentish Town station. The worker suffered a number of injuries, spending 10 days in hospital.
The ORR regulator’s investigation found London Underground failed to properly plan, manage and supervise the work.
