BAM Nuttall has received a fine of more than £800,000 after a worker suffered three fractured vertebrae when he was hit on the head by a large expanded polystyrene block which slipped from an excavator bucket.
Brighton Magistrates Court heard how, on 20 January 2017, workers were constructing a piling platform at Redhill Station in Surrey from expanded polystyrene blocks when one of the blocks slipped from an excavator bucket while being lowered into place, hitting the worker Andrew Stuart. Stewart is still suffering the effects of the injury and is likely to be on pain medication for the foreseeable future.
