A company based in Dartford have been fined £135,000 with costs of £18,313 after a man fell 10 metres to his death. Laing O’Rourke Construction South Limited was fined for breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The steel worker fell through a hole that had been covered with plywood whilst on site on the Jemstock Project, Isle of Dogs, Tower Hamlets.
Even though risk assessments and method statements had been undertaken, the weekly and monthly checks required from these assessments were not being sufficiently carried out. The plywood used to cover the whole was of poor quality, and site managers were not aware of this, nor who was responsible for covering it.
