Truck dealer fined €20,000 for failing to fix fatal crane flaw before selling it on - Courts, National News - Independent.ie


 A TRUCK dealership owned by millionaire Pino Harris sold on a crane, which had already caused the death of a worker, without fixing the fault that led to the fatality, a court has heard.

J Harris Assemblers bought the crane, which was mounted on a truck, from a company that had allegedly removed safety sensors leading to the death of one of its workers. J Harris Assembler then sold on the truck to another company without reinstalling the sensors.

It was fined €20,000 at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court after pleading guilty that on September 4, 2003, it supplied a Hino Grab Crane Lorry that had not been properly inspected as required by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 1989.
