Builder fined after worker's fatal fall - icNorthWales, UK
When officers asked Mr Turner for his account of the accident he said: 'He fell. But whether he was on the scaffold or on the wall, I don't know.
'Maybe he tripped over the wall plate so I don't see how you can blame the scaffold.'
Mr Williams said there was no question of cost cutting being blamed for the faulty scaffolding.
But he said the Health and Safety Executive took a serious view because almost half construction industry deaths resulted from falls from height.
