LATEST NEWS & EVENTS Building site manager fined for ignoring asbestos warning  A building site manager has been fined after ignoring safety orders designed to protect workers from injury. Mr Haider Zaman, 53, trading as Pride Builders, was prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for failing to comply with two improvement notices relating to a range of issues, including asbestos safety. It comes as the HSE launches a drive to provide more asbestos training to workers in high risk industries such as construction, which could reduce the number of people seeking help from an asbestosis lawyer. HSE inspectors also identified sub-standard safety measures in relation to working at height and structural ability. Upon returning to the site a week later, they found Mr Zaman had not complied with the notices, Cardiff Magistrates' Court heard. Commenting, HSE inspector David Kirkpatrick said: "We cannot tolerate non-compliance with enforcement notices and will prosecute. "The enforcement notices in this case are two of many served by HSE construction inspectors during a recent focus on the construction and refurbishment industry in Cardiff." Posted by Paul Stevens
