On 24 February 2025 a worker employed by the company was replacing a damaged skylight on a barn roof. He fell through the fragile roof. HSE found the company had not adequately planned the work or put control measures in place to prevent a fall through the roof, and workers lacked sufficient training to use the control measures in the company's risk assessment.
Injuries: The worker suffered fractures to his ribs, vertebrae and pelvis.
Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
“Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities.”
Before anyone goes on or near a fragile roof, plan the job, put physical fall protection in place, and make sure the people doing it are trained to use the controls in your risk assessment.
