A ROOFING firm and its director have pleaded guilty to breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act.

Watershed Roofing, of Thorncliffe Road, Manningham, and Steven Derham, of Winterton Drive, Low Moor, Bradford, admitted a single charge each of failing to control risks associated with working at height on a flat roof, including falling through fragile roof lights, on August 16, 2011. Stephen Uttley, barrister for the Health and Safety Executive, told Bradford Crown Court the pleas were acceptable.

The case was adjourned for sentencing on July 13. Derham’s bail was extended.
