Accidents Hurt, Safety Doesn’t…

In the recent publication by Safety and Health Practitioner a school was fined after a worker was injured following a fall from a ladder. The HSE’s findings were as follows:

• The school did not have a risk assessment or safe system for dismantling the canopy roof which resulted in the work being conducted unsafely.

• No assessment was made as to the fragility of the roof before accessing it.

• Suitable equipment was not provided.

• The injured person was not trained.

• The work was not supervised.

• Other work at height at the school was also carried out without specific planning, supervision and was not carried out safely.
