Father-of-two Jonathan May, 39, from Wakefield, died when he fell through a factory skylight at an industrial estate in Barnsley in December 2016. It said "poor planning" had resulted in an "unsuitable and insufficient risk assessment" and the work was "poorly supervised and carried out unsafely". He admitted breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act at Sheffield Magistrates' Court on 16 November and, in addition to his suspended prison sentence, was ordered to complete 15 days of rehabilitation activity.
