A Liverpool businessman has been fined £112,000. - Feb 2012
A property developer, Taj ul Malook Mann, has been personally fined £112,000 after a labourer died following a fall from the roof of an industrial unit, just months after another worker was injured in a fall at the same site.
During the HSE investigation, video was discovered which had been filmed on the deceased’s mobile phone in the weeks before his fall. It showed labourers carrying out work while on top of the narrow roof beams without the appropriate safety measures.
Taj ul Malook Mann, admitted four breaches of health and safety regulations after failing to take steps to prevent a fall which could have resulted in injury, and failing to ensure that work on his site was being carried out safely. He also did not fulfil his legal duty to report the incident to HSE.
He was fined £112,000 and ordered to pay £19,331 in prosecution costs.
Speaking after the hearing, the investigating inspector at HSE, Kevin Jones, said: "Property developers must understand that health and safety rules need to be adhered to at all times, regardless of how small a project may be".
