The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecuted Dean Paul Shaw (44), trading as Streamline Guttering and Cladding, of Kirby Muxloe, Leicestershire, for allowing work to take place on a roof without adequate safety equipment to stop him or his workers falling.
Mr Shaw was also ordered to pay costs of £1,314.40 at Loughborough Magistrates' Court after pleading guilty to breaching three regulations of the Work At Height Regulations 2005.

The three workers accessed the roof by a mobile tower at the front of the building, however they were also working on the back of the building, which had no tower or scaffolding in place.
The court heard that by not providing adequate safety equipment, Mr Shaw failed to ensure that the installation of new guttering was properly planned, did not provide appropriate supervision and failed to prevent, as far as reasonably practicable, any person falling a distance liable to cause personal injury.
