£18,000 Fine After Scaffolding Collapsed On Railway Line

Posted by Llanrhystud Childminder On Wednesday, March 18, 2009
I found this fascinating article today:

Two building firms have been fined a total of £18,000 after the scaffolding they erected collapsed onto a railway line at Aberystwyth station.

The charges follow an accident on 22 February 2005 when a 52m-long, three-level-high section of system scaffolding on a building site adjacent to Aberystwyth railway station collapsed and obstructed the track.

  1. My friend worked for one of the firms and lost his job cause of the fines. He always said they erected the scaffolding to quickly and reckoned some missed some couplers.
