A company has had its sentencing delayed until September for breaches of health and safety that led to a teenager’s death.

Rooftop Rooms, based in Baker Street, Enfield, admitted failing to discharge a health and safety duty after 16-year-old Alfie Perrin fell from scaffolding at a building site in Camden Road, Wansted, on November 14, 2012.

However, Andrew Voy, 35, an employee of the company, was found not guilty of manslaughter at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Tuesday, March 31.

During the trial, the court heard the Enfield teenager had been instructed to clear rubbish and timber off-cuts from the roof behind the two-storey house.

Mr Perrin threw the material into a skip at the front of the house, where there was no edge protection.

The scaffold platform had a large gap at one end where a ladder should have been fitted or scaffold poles used to reduce the risk of falls. The court heard neither a ladder nor scaffold poles were in place.

The teenager fell after throwing a bag of rubble from the scaffold platform.

He was treated at the scene but later died in hospital from a head injury.

Rooftop Rooms pleaded guilty to failure to discharge a duty imposed by the Health and Safety at Work Act.

The company also pleaded guilty to failing to conduct the loft conversion in such a way to ensure that a person not in its employment was not exposed to risks to their health and safety.

Sentencing was due to the take place at Snaresbrook Crown court yesterday but has been adjourned to the same court on September 2.
