Fined £2,000

Alistair Howells, director of BHG (Stone) Limited, allowed unsafe work at height during construction of an apartment block in Aston-by-Stone, Staffordshire. On 5 December 2023, a 26-year-old labourer installing wall insulation placed a ladder across a stairwell opening to reach a top corner and fell through to the ground below, fracturing his skull and back. An HSE investigation found the company failed to properly plan the work and implement suitable measures to prevent falls from height, with Howells working in close proximity and permitting the unsafe practice.

Pleaded guilty to breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Required to pay costs of £1,386.
