Two scaffold inspectors have been prosecuted after forging safety certificates and a worker fell through a gap between the scaffolding and the building, resulting in serious injuries.
Greater Manchester Magistrates’ Court heard how, on 26 March 2014, the 49-year old worker was working on a re-roofing project. As he stepped down from the untiled roof onto a fixed scaffold, he fell through a gap between the working platform of the scaffolding and the building.
He suffered fracture injuries to his spine and had to wear a back brace for eight weeks.
