This is the moment a mechanical engineer fell from height while working at a HS2 site. He suffered a fractured skull, hip, jaw and pelvis after landing on the concrete floor 11 metres below. The man had fallen through a gap after stair treads had been removed from a stairway. EMC Elite Engineering Services Ltd, the man’s employer, was subsequently fined over £50,000 following a HSE prosecution. Read more about this HSE prosecution here: https://lnkd.in/eYjfGy_m
