Not being arsey,.

 

The fear of killing or seriously injuring someone means far more to me, this fine will not make me think differently in any way.

 

I would expect a cock up like that to be career ending.

Spot on !

A TO needs to "disappear"

 

They're disappearing all over the country as it is...

 In a year or two you'll be able to stick a piece of chewing gum on an oak tree, tell the planning officer that it's kretz and the tree is going to fall over tomorrow

Problem I'm finding with that 1 is " I haven't a clue what your on about but it looks fine to me" syndrome sneaking in which is a difficult 1 to overcome if they aren't willing to listen and learn.

Gary - what do you mean ' in a year or two ' ? I built my career on that ( probably shouldnt have chewed the gum again after tho' ..... ) K

24k Fine was a bit harsh

In my personal opinion I don’t think £24k plus costs is harsh.

I think they got off lightly, bearing in mind the list of failings and the financial size of a company like Bartlett’s.

I’m glad nobody was hurt but it could have so easily seriously injured or killed a bystander/member of the Barlett’s team.

Good on the HSE for going to town on them.
I hope this will be a positive thing for our industry, the threat of a large fine is a big incentive to all of us not to cut corners.

Would be very interesting to read the whole judgement but don’t know if that’s available.

Await to see what the AA does, not holding my breath.
