Capital Demolition hit with two fines in a 2 week period
Capital Demolition has been hit with two separate health and safety fines in a two week period, totaling £31,156 (approx. $62,082 US)
The UK Surrey-based contractor pleaded guilty to the two offences, the first of which related to a lack of public fencing and precautions to prevent falls through asbestos cement sheets at a site in Ashtead, Surrey.
The second offence, at a site in Staines in Surrey, related to an unsafe 4m-high working platform.
HSE inspector Tristan Charles said: “These cases show that the courts take breaches of health and safety seriously, even when an accident has not occurred. Capital Demolition has been in court twice in 7 days, both times pleading guilty to the offences. These cases could have easily been avoided if the sites were adequately managed and the work adequately planned.”
