COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

WHAT HAPPENED

Follow this link to an HSE post on Linkedin which shows a short video which captures the moment a mechanical engineer fell from height while working at a HS2 site.

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7220027096322949121/

He suffered a fractured skull, hip, jaw and pelvis after landing on the concrete floor 11 metres below. The man had fallen through a gap after stair treads had been removed from a stairway.

EMC Elite Engineering Services Ltd, the man’s employer, was subsequently fined over £50,000 following a HSE prosecution.
