Nicolas Vilela spent a month in hospital after suffering horrific injuries in the incident
Two companies have been fined more than £100,000 after a "man plunged 30 feet while working on a skate park roof".
Speaking as the companies were fined, Mr Vilela, 43, said the incident had affected him both physically and emotionally. “I have developed a fear of heights and a fear of any physical activity that could cause me harm. I am also really worried about how my body will respond in old age as a result of these injuries.
H2O were aware of multiple fragile rooflights near to where the solar panels would be fitted, the HSE added. According to the public body, a risk assessment produced by H2O stated cones and warning tape would be used to warn workers of the risk of falling through the fragile roof lights, and fixed scaffolding would be used to prevent risk of falls from the perimeter of the roof.
H2O Renewables Limited of Hazel Grove, Stockport, pleaded guilty to breaching regulation 13 of the Construction Regulations 2015. They were fined £106,720 and ordered to pay £40,995 in costs.
