https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/terrifying-moment-worker-fell-lift-29176353 Just read this happened Sept. 2022 Expert Tooling, of Sayer Drive, Coventry, pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. It was fined £50,000 and ordered to pay £1,985 in costs at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on April 29, 2024. Optilight Electrical Services, of Oakwood Road, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, pleaded guilty to breaching Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. It was fined £7,000 and ordered to pay £1,985 in costs at the same court date. HSE inspector Charlotte Cunniffe said: “This case clearly illustrates the disastrous consequences that can occur when two companies each assume the other has taken responsibility for safe working practices. Risk often arises through a failure to communicate effectively." |
