Olympic Stadium Builder In London Fined £40,000 02/01/2008 The new Olympic stadium site in Westminster, London has been the site of several accidents since 2005 and has been sentenced by the Old Bailey to pay 12,500 in costs and £40,000 to an injured worker. In a sentencing just before Christmas, Olympic builder Sir Robert McAlpine came under the courts scrutiny when a mobile crane hit a lamppost knocking it onto a worker’s leg. The worker’s leg was shattered and his foot had to be amputated. Health and Safety Executive inspector Monica Babb said the mobile crane had been moved around the site a few times before being left in a perilous position close to the lamppost where it was noted it could hit the lamppost, which it was occurred. Highlighting the safety precautions that are paramount on a construction site like the Olympic Stadium, especially with crane operations, Babb said, “Management systems should be clear so that work a safe system of work is employed and incidents such as this are avoided.” |
