The man was working at Total Brickwork Ltd at a construction site run by Challenger Building Services Ltd on Okell Street, Runcorn, who were both charged £46,000 in total.
Intending to sweep the debris down the stairwell opening, the man lifted up one of the temporary boards and stepped forward as he was going to lean it against a wall. An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive found the principal contractor Challenger Building Services Limited and Total Brickwork Ltd, the contractor in control of the work activity, had failed to plan, manage and monitor work at the site to ensure it could be carried out safely.
The company was fined £30,000 and ordered to pay £1,991.32 in costs at Warrington Magistrates’ Court on 23 October 2023.
