A man died after falling from a ladder onto metal piping as he tried to install a public address system at Bearsden train station.
The company who employed Matthew Mason has been fined £550,000 yesterday and ordered to pay his family £200,000 in compensation following the horrific incident.
A 14-day trial at Dumbarton Sheriff Court heard the 20-year-old was trying to free speaker cabling that had become stuck when he fell backwards from the ladder onto the section of metal piping that was being used as a handle on a cable drum. This piping pierced his side causing internal injuries and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
