Construction Company Fined for Deadly Safety Failures | Manchester News
Description
A construction firm in Oldham faces a $30,000 fine after a 25-year-old bricklayer suffered life-altering injuries when a poorly built floor collapsed under the weight of concrete blocks. The worker broke his leg, hip, and hand, requiring surgery and a month in the hospital. The Health and Safety Executive found multiple safety failures — including unsafe scaffolding, no fire alarms, and inadequate site management — leading to a guilty plea and court-ordered penalties. This preventable tragedy underscores how critical proper planning and safety protocols are on every construction site.
