Ling Developments Limited fined £15,858 after repeated failure to provide welfare facilities

Telford, Shropshire · Birmingham Magistrates Court

What happened

An HSE inspection at a construction site in Oldbury Park, Telford found the company had failed to provide hot or warm water in toilets and lacked suitable rest facilities for workers. This followed three prior breaches of the same regulation and previous enforcement action against the company.

Injuries: Not stated on the page; the case concerned welfare provision, not an injury.

The breach

Regulation 13(4)(c) of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015

The sentence

  • Fine: £15,858
  • Costs: £3,858
HSE inspector

“The provision of suitable welfare facilities such as hot running water and basic rest facilities are the minimum all workers should expect, they aren't a luxury.”

What would have prevented it

Basic welfare provision on site is a legal minimum, and repeat failures after enforcement action will be treated more seriously by HSE.
