Cladder crushed 2.6 tonnes of falling pipework

Two construction companies have been fined following an incident where a subcontractor was crushed when a fire sprinkler manifold pipework system fell on top of him during installation.
On 26 October 2016, at the Markham Vale Business Park, Chesterfield, a cladding subcontractor suffered life changing injuries when he tried to remove some loose insulation from behind the manifold pipework and the 2.6 tonne structure fell on him, pinning him to the ground.
