Adrian Cormack of Coles Miller AN ENGINEER who suffered horrific injuries after falling through the side of a glass lift has received £3.4million in compensation with the help of a Dorset law firm. The man, then 44, was left paraplegic after the accident on a site where building work was being carried out several years ago. He had been in in a partially dismantled lift which was being used to transport parts. He travelled downwards in a lift car while supporting a 2.2metre high doorframe which had the electric motor and door-opening mechanism attached. But the doorframe became unsteady and the engineer was knocked off balance, falling through the glass side of the lift to the floor two metres below, with the doorframe and motor landing on top of him.

WITH many workplaces sweltering as the temperature nudges into the 30s Celsius, can it ever be so hot at work that you are allowed to go home? The law does not set any maximum temperature in the workplace, but says temperatures in indoor workplaces must be “reasonable”. But an employer which believes happy staff are productive might want to go further than the law requires. Claire Merrit, partner at law firm Paris Smith, said: “Employers have an obligation to keep employees safe in the workplace, however health and safety rules set no maximum temperature for the workplace. It is therefore for an employer to take steps to understand what is reasonable and reduce risk to staff.
