Directors Wayne Hawkeswood and Graham Woodhouse were sentenced to nine months in prison each. The two Birmingham-based companies were fined a combined total of £1.6m.
Two metal recycling company directors have been jailed to nine months in prison after five workers died when a 45-tonne wall collapsed and crushed them, the Health and Safety Executive has said.
Hawkesood, the managing director of both companies, and Woodhouse, who was responsible for day-to-day operations, were each sentenced to nine months in jail at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday, while HMR was fined £1m and Ensco £600,000. The wall which collapsed - killing the men instantly - was made up of 30 concrete blocks, each the size of a domestic fridge-freezer and weighing the same as a large family car.
