Efforts to put out the fire included holding a sheet of tin to shield the surroundings. The tin heated and dropped onto an operative who was working on the site causing burn injuries to the scalp, arm and hands.<\/p>\n<p>An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that the company had received a quote for installation of new service termination equipment. The company failed to act on the quote and instruct the power company to terminate supply to the building.<\/p>\n<p>The Company pleaded guilty to breaching Section 2 (1) of the Health &amp; Safety at Work etc Act 1974. The company has been fined \u00a342,000 and ordered to pay \u00a34,707 in costs.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the hearing, the HSE inspector said: \u201cThe company should have ensured that there was no live power to the building prior to the start of demolition work. The company had failed to prepare a written plan for the demolition of the building or any site-specific risk assessments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis incident could so easily have been avoided by simply carrying out correct control measures and safe working practices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><sub>Information provided by: https:\/\/press.hse.gov.uk\/2021\/03\/11\/construction-company-fined-after-worker-suffered-multiple-burns\/:\u00a0<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A company has been sentenced after a worker was struck by a heated sheet of tin.
