A building firm has been fined £160,000 after a man was killed by a construction vehicle when it slid down an embankment and overturned at a housing development in Glasgow. Scott Bradley, 44, suffered fatal crush injuries in the telehandler crash, which occurred while he was reversing the vehicle to move scaffolding parts behind partially built houses.
' Sheriff Arrol noted that the firm cooperated with the HSE, fully accepted responsibility, and took immediate steps to remedy the cause. The sheriff added: 'The company is currently in liquidation. 'It was submitted that the fine should be proportionate to the means of the offender. In short, they have little, if any means at all. 'The liquidation process is ongoing and it remains to be determined what the financial position will crystallise at.
