The company failed to prevent risks from falls from height, exposure to asbestos and dangerous electrical systems. There were no suitable welfare facilities and no measures to prevent fire on site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; color: #333333;\">An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that workers on site had carried out work in an unsafe manner without the appropriate measures in place to ensure their health, safety and welfare.\u00a0 The employees and contractors on site did not have the appropriate skills, knowledge and experience to complete the work. The Company failed to comply with their duty as principal contractor to plan, manage and monitor the work being carried out on site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; color: #333333;\">The company pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 13(1) of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.\u00a0 The company was fined \u00a335,000 and ordered to pay costs of \u00a33,860.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; color: #333333;\">Speaking after the hearing, the HSE inspector said: \u201cThese risks could so easily have been avoided by simply carrying out correct control measures and safe working practices.
