Employer given suspended sentence after employee’s fall - The Malta Independent: Manwel Cutajar, 65 of Gudja, was sentenced to a year’s jail, suspended for two years, on being found guilty of not implementing protection measures for a worker who was working for him and ended falling two storeys.

The accident happened at about 7.40am on 15 April, 2008 in Gudja. Cutajar was also found guilty of failing to safeguard his employees’ health and safety.

Salvatore Aquilina had fallen off a plank set up purposely against the fa�ade of a block of apartments to work on the fa�ade, for which he was being paid about €50 a day, with Cutajar providing the equipment he was to use – the plank and ropes needed.
