A vertical farming, glasshouses and energy company has been sentenced after a worker came into contact with an 11kV overhead power line.
Beverley Magistrates’ Court heard that on 3 December 2018, a subcontractor scaffolding worker was unloading some scaffolding poles near power cables in Willerby, Hull, when one of the poles caught the overhead line. He sustained burns to his leg and foot and was hospitalised.
