A firm whose failure to implement safety measures led to the tragic death of 10-year-old Shea Ryan was fined £860,000 today
A firm whose failure to implement safety measures led to the tragic death of a young boy was fined £860,000 today.
Police attended and officers found Shea lying on his back with Mr Patterson and a neighbour beside him. Mr Ul-Hassan said: “Shea was seen to have severe head injuries, cold to the touch and was not breathing.” The sheriff stated that this was reduced due to mitigating factors notably the timing of the company's plea.
The company was also found not to have kept the existing measures under review. They were further criticised for not having double fencing on the area of the site.
