North Sea contractor fined £k535

A North Sea oil contractor has been fined £535,000 after a worker sustained life changing injuries following, in 2017, the uncontrolled collapse of a crane. An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that the company had failed to carry out a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks of the work and had failed to maintain the crane braking systems and equipment in a safe condition before work commenced.
