A construction company has been fined £550,000 over the “foreseeable and avoidable death” of a worker who was impaled on metal piping, according to the Crown Office.
Matthew Mason, 20, was working at Bearsden train station in East Dunbartonshire to install a PA system when he fell to his death.
The worker was attempting to free cabling which had become stuck when he fell backwards from a step ladder and was impaled on a section of piping being used as the handle on a cable drum.
