The 24-year-old employee suffered serious injuries

A company in Greater Manchester has been fined £20,000 after an employee fell through a roof and suffered serious injuries.

A Health and Safety Executive investigation found Hightech Roofing N/W Limited failed to ensure the work on the roof was properly planned, appropriately supervised and carried out in a manner that was as safe as reasonably practicable. Workers used boards placed on the roof to move around, but according to the HSE, the roof lights were not covered which led to the worker falling.

The company also failed to assess the specific risks arising from the need to work on or over fragile surfaces and failed to consider risks arising from employees working near the edge of the roof, the HSE said. No edge protection was installed at the gable end of the building, according to the HSE. Hightech Roofing N/W Limited, of Grimshaw Street, Failsworth, pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 4 of the Work at Height Regulations 2005. The company was fined £20,000 and ordered to pay £5,858.46 in costs at Preston Magistrates’ Court on 9 May 2024.
