 A Shropshire firm, which hires out equipment for working safely at height, has been fined after a worker suffered multiple injuries when he fell from a cherry picker.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecuted UK Platforms Ltd following the incident at the company’s depot in Halesfield, Telford.

Telford Magistrates’ Court heard how the 42-year-old man, who does not want to be named, was standing on the cherry picker’s engine canopy to repair the mechanical arm when he fell two metres, landing on a concrete floor.
