Posted by Chris Owen | Date Posted 22.04.2008 | Time Posted 09:56:00 | Views: 464
In June 2007, an employee of West Sussex Company RH Phillips & Sons Ltd fell from the top platform of an unguarded mobile tower scaffold, fracturing his ribs.
Investigation found the persons who set up the scaffolding tower were not suitably competent to erect or dismantle the equipment, the scaffolding itself was unfit for use in a work activity, and that the injured worker had received no training or instruction from his employer on its use.
The company was fined £2,500 and ordered to pay £1,600 costs having breached the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
