A construction firm has been fined $728,500 over a string of safety errors that led to the death of a seven-year-old boy on a building site after getting trapped in a pipe.
Conley Thompson died in 2015 after falling into a vertical pipe on the Church View site in Worsbrough, in the U.K., a mile away from his home.
He was able to sneak onto the dangerous building site because three-quarters of the fencing surrounding it was ‘inadequate’, a court heard.
