Two firms have been fined after a brick archway collapsed and injured two workers during a large renovation project in Newcastle. The two-tonne archway, at the former toffee factory in Ouseburn, had become unstable due to the removal of some masonry on one of the support pillars. The two workers were shoring up the arch when it collapsed, on 15 February 2011. One worker injured his back, while the other fractured his foot. Cundall Johnston and Partners LLP, the project designers, and Brims Construction Ltd, the principal contractor, were both prosecuted by the HSE after an investigation into the collapse identified numerous safety failings.
