摘要

Cemex and Cape Industrial Services both pleaded guilty to health and safety violations after a scaffolder fell to his death at the Cemex cement plant in Rugby, Warwickshire in 2012. The companies have been fined a combined Euro1.74m. John Altoft fell to his death after being struck by falling debris at the plant on 18 January 2012. The accident occurred when a team from Cape Industrial Services was installing an access scaffold to enable the relining of the inside of a 'steel plated tapered cylindrical structure'that forms part of the pre-heater tower.
