Building firm pays out £89k after house collapse injures four workers

A LONDON building firm has been ordered to pay out nearly £90k after four workers were injured in a house collapse in which it was “lucky” no one was killed.
-
Health and Safety Executive (HSE) inspectors said two workers sustained 'life-changing' injuries when the first floor of the house collapsed and took them down with it.
Two more workers at ground level were injured by falling concrete during the remedial building works at the new house in Hampstead, north-west London.
An HSE investigation found London building firm Aryn Stones Ltd, based in Shepherd's Bush, had failed to ensure the structure did not collapse whilst in a state of temporary weakness.
The company was fined £50,000 and ordered to pay £39,000 costs following a two-day trial at City of London Magistrates' Court earlier this month.
The court heard Aryn Stones Ltd had been contracted to build a new domestic property in Hampstead.
