Matthew Mason, 20, was working at Bearsden train station in East Dunbartonshire to install a PA system when he fell to his death
A construction company has been fined £550,000 over the "foreseeable and avoidable death" of a worker who was impaled on metal piping.
Sheffield-based Linbrooke Services Limited was found guilty at Dumbarton Sheriff Court of three offences, including failing to identify the risks of pulling cabling through a conduit at height, despite previously having been alerted to the issues by a subcontractor. The company was also ordered to pay £550,000 to Mr Mason's family in compensation.
Debbie Carroll, who heads the health and safety investigations team at the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service , said: "Matthew Mason lost his life in circumstances which were foreseeable and avoidable. His death could have been prevented had Linbrooke Services Limited put in place appropriate planning, supervision and protective measures to manage the risk of working at height.
