Three companies sentenced following demolition fatality

摘要

Three construction firms have been prosecuted after a worker was killed during the demolition of a twostorey building on the Isle of Wight. In October 2016, David Shayler, an employee of Ryde Demolition Limited, was removing roof timbers by hand with a colleague, when a gable wall partially collapsed, causing him to fall backwards and strike his head against a stack of roof tiles. He died six days later in hospital.
