Leicester Magistrates' Court heard how the company were removing tiles from a domestic property when they were reported to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) on 16 July 2015.

A follow up investigation found workers on a steep roof removing tiles without any form of equipment or protection to prevent them falling off the roof.

The company had planned to work from a basket of a mobile elevated work platform or cherry picker, however it did not follow this plan and therefore put the workers at significant risk of falling and risk of serious injury.
