Health & Safety - Working at height case
A factory worker suffered multiple broken bones after being struck by an overhead crane while working on a scissor lift.
Lanark Sheriff Court heard that the incident took place on 3 April 2008 at steel-fabrication firm BHC Ltd’s factory in Carnwarth, South Lanarkshire. Alexander Struthers, 36, was using the scissor lift to drill holes in steel roof rafters in the factory’s workshop. The work was being carried out as part of an expansion project for the workshop, where the company spray-paints metal beams.
